From the Annals of Yale Graduates pg 435
"Alexander Wolcott, the fifth child and fourth son of Roger Wolcott, of Windsor,
who was Governor of Connecticut from 1751 to 1754, was born in Windsor, January
7, 1711-12. His mother was Sarah, daughter of Job Drake, of Windsor.
Two younger brothers were graduated here in 1742 and 1747.
He married, December 4, 1732, Lydia, daughter of Jeremiah and Lydia (Rosewell)
Atwater, of New Haven, by whom he had two sons and a daughter. Meantime,
he resided in New Haven, but on account of his irregular life his wife separated
from him in 1739. About this time he was in partnership in business with
Samuel Cooke (Y. C. 1730)
He subsequently married, March 17, 1739-40, Mary, eldest daughter of Captain
Moses and Margery (Prout) Mansfield, and widow of Fitz John Allen, or Allyn, of
New Haven. She died in 1741, aged 34 years; and he next married, April 3,
1745, Mary, daughter of Captain John and Hester (Hough) Richards, of New London,
Connecticut, by whom he had six sons and four daughters. She died October
23, 1817, in her 93d year."
Discrepancy: Annals of Yale Graduates says her father was Capt. JOHN Richards not George Richards
