Question on year of birth. Obituary newspaper clipping, Collected Newspaper Clippings, photocopy in possession of Frank Eugene Wicker, p. 246, lists 1838. 1838 also mentioned in Family Book, in possession of Clayton Ross Wescott. I (Mr. Wicker) tend to trust the two source books on the Bullen family.
She claimed to be a second cousin of Abraham Lincoln. (From transcribed reminiscences of Harold Eugene Wicker.)

Was part of Sherman's "March to the Sea" in U.S. Civil War. (Also reportedly participated in the Grand Parade in Washington D.C. after the war.)

"Another old soldier has passed away. George Garner Wescott died May 19, 1916 at his home in the town of Eau Pleine" (Marathon Co.) "from general break down and old age, not being confined to his bed but a few days."
"Mr. Wescott was born April 20th 1836 in the Town of Butler, Wayne C. N.Y. When a boy he moved with his parents to Washington Co. Wis. where he lived until the breaking out of the Civil war, he enlisted in Co. D 12th regiment, Wis. Inf. Vol. Oct. 15 1864, making the march with Sherman to the sea, was honorably discharged at the close of the war."
"On July 23th 1859 he was married to Miss Sarah Brillen" (correct name was Bullen) "at Trenton Wis. To this union were born eight children six sons and two daughters: Wallace of Lewistown Mont., George of Wausau, Harvey of Unity, Fred deceased, Mrs. Frank Wicker of Unity, Mrs. Chas. Edwards of Lancer Sask. Canada, Stephen of Hayward Cal. and Eugene of Wausau."
"The funeral services were held at the home on Monday May 22nd at 10 o'clock conducted by Rev. R.R. Bradbick. He was laid to rest in the cemetery at Colby."
"Mr. Wescott's character was of scrupulous honesty and he was a lover of right in all thing. His absence will be most keenly felt by those who knew him best and loved him most. Steadfastly loyal to the last to flag and country he has fallen out of the ranks of his comrades here below to join those of the Great Beyond."

George Garner Wescott was born in the Town of Butler, Wayne Co., New York. Judging from the movements of his parents, Stephen & Catherine Westcot, he probably moved to the Town of Farmington, Washington Co., Wisconsin between 1845 and 1847. On 23 July 1859 he married Sarah Catherine Bullen in the Town of Trenton, Washington Co., Wisconsin. Apparently by 22 May 1860 they were in Kaukauna, Outagamie Co. Wisconsin and probably stayed there until at least 26 May of 1875, since all their children except one are listed as born in Kaukauna. In 1864 he traveled to Milwaukee, Milwaukee Co., Wisconsin to enlist in the 12th Wisconsin Volunteers (U.S. Civil War). There's no indication where his wife spent the time while he was a soldier. Probably some time after 1885 he moved to what has been known by his grandchildren as "The old homestead.", a land grant to his older brother Artemas in the North half of the Northeast Quarter of Section 6, Township 27 N, Range 3 E (The Town of Eau Pleine, Marathon Co., Wisconsin). That land now fronts on a town road known as Wescott road. The homestead was taken over and farmed by George's son Harvey, and later his grandson Glenn Wescott before passing out of the family. George's grandson, Harold Eugene Wicker, was veterinarian to both Harvey and Glenn's dairy cattle. George Garner Wescott apparently died on the homestead on 19 May 1916.
