BIOGRAPHY OF JOHN ALCOTT
John Alcock (as the name was spelled at that time) was the son of John Alcock and Susannah Heaton. He was born in New Haven on January 14, 1705. He was married by the Rev. Isaac Stiles of North Haven to Deborah Blakeslee, the daughter of John and Susannah Blakeslee on January 14, 1730. They moved to Waterbury, Connecticut, and in the spring of 1731 to the remote Spindle Hill area of Waterbury, later known as Wolcott. Their original farm was 177 acres. John & Deborah's original log home was replaced by a frame house. As his family grew to twelve children, he continued to add to his estate untill he had 1200 acres. He gave to each of five or six children a farm of 100 acres near his home. John served the town of Waterbury in several capacities, and he was the first settler of the town. John died January 6, 1777 and Deborah died January 7, 1789.

==========================
John Alcock, second child, oldest son, b. at New Haven, New Haven, CT; removed to Spindle Hill in 1731, then included in Waterbury. About 1825, at the suggestion of Amos Bronson Alcott and Dr. William Andrus Alcott, the descendants of John and Deborah changed the form of the name to "ALCOTT," which, it has been said, was its earliest form.
