Judge James A. Wolcott

James purchased 300 acres at Maumee, OH in 1827. He was a merchant, hotel keeper, ship owner and wharf operator there. He was elected Lucas Co. judge in 1839 and mayor of Maumee in 1843. His home at Maumee is now a museum.

This federal style house was built in 1827 by James A. Wolcott who migrated to Ohio in 1818 from Connecticut. Of distinguished parentage, Wolcott was a leading merchant, shipbuilder, judge and politician. Here he and his wife, Mary Wells, daughter of scout William Wells and Sweet Breeze, Indian Chief Little Turtle's daughter, made their home a center of frontier activity. This house stands as a tangible symbol of this Maumee pioneer, a Registered National Historic Place.
