History of Medina Co. by Baskin & Battery p. 920
S. P . Wolcott was raised upon a farm, receiving but a limited education. He worked for his father until of age, and contributed no little toward caring for the family. He was frugal and industrious, and as fast as he earned money he invested it in land. In 1828, he returned to Ontario Co., N. Y., where he found employment as a farm laborer for two years. During this time he had saved enough money to finish  paying for the land he had purchased. He was united in marriage to Miss Nancy W. Codding Sept. 20, 1835. She was born in Bristol, Ontario Co., N. Y., Feb.13, 1814. From this union there were sixteen children-Fernando, Alzina M., Horace, Sarah J., Harriet C., Chester, Clayton C., Clayton, Cornelius, Cornelia, Samuel M., Alice A., Frank L., Mary L., Amelia C. and Ida M. Horace, Chester and Clayton were in the late war. After the war, Horace entered the employment of the Government and went overland to the Pacific coast. On his return to the East he took a trip South, since which time he has never been heard of by the family. Mr. Wolcott began life as a poor boy, and is, in the fullest sense of the word, a self-made man. Although too old to work he still has charge of his farm, which is one of the best improved in Granger Township. He is an intelligent, enterprising gentleman, a jovial companion and one of the county’s best citizens. In politics, he is a Republican of the stalwart kind.
