Palmer Westcott may not be my brick wall, if my theory is correct, but I need to confirm it.
I believe that he was my gggggrandfather only because I found him living with my Lydia Westcott Dutcher in the 1850 census, in Perrysburg, Wood Co. Ohio.
Palmer Westcott is not a very popular name, and I have ruled out all but one. He was born to Thomas Westcott and Maria ? in 1790 possibly in Rutland Vermont. Again I make a leap when I read his age in 1850 as 59, it could be 39, but Ancestry's transcriber sees 59 as well.

Randy, are you still researching Westcott/Wescott from Devon, England? I do have a brick wall and haven't seemed to have gotten a response. Thank you Linda
