"John Talcott: Hartford, Connecticut"
The origin in England of the Talcott family has long been known and was set forth by S. V. Talcott in 1876 in his Talcott Pedigree in England and America. Henry F. Waters' research provided additional details.
Wills exist, the full abstracts are not included here.
John Talcott was a pewterer of Braintree, England, died in 1605/05 (will dated 30 Sep 1604, proved 24 Jan 1604/5), married Anne Skinner, who died at Sfelsted, Essex, in 1637 (will Jan 1636/7, proved 25 May 1637), daughter of William and Margery Skinner. She married second by Jan 1604/5, Moses Wall, a clothier of Braintree, who died about the end of 1623 (will dated 16 Sep 1623, codicil 16 Oct 1623, proved 23 Jan 1623). John Talcott's will named his young children, John, Rachel, Anne, Mary, and Sarah; their grandmother Skinner's will named only John, RAcleh and Sarah in 1616, and these three only wer named in the will of their stepfather in 1623 adn in that of their mother in 1637.

John Talcott possessed real estate in Colchester and adjacent towns, which, with his personal property, he bequeated at his death to his children and grandchildren. John settled in Braintree, about fourteen miles from Colchester, and died tehre in 1604, before his father, leaving a family of children, all minors, the eldest of whom was John, who came to New England. The Talcott's of America are descended from him.
John Talcott died in Braintree about 14 miles from Colchester (where he resided) the early part of the year 1604. His widow, soon after his death, married "Moyses Wall", of Braintree, who died, fall of 1623, leaving her again a widow. All the children were minors at his death, but as the Braintree records, previous to 1660 are deficient, the date of their baptism cannot be ascertained. He made the following will:
The Will and Testament of John Talcot, of Braintree, Essex County, England, who died in 1604. He was the Father of John Talcott who emigrated to Amerca in 1632. This Will was copied from the Register fo the Prerogative Court of Canterbury in 1849, at the request of S. V. Talcott.

General Notes (Wife)
Info form http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op-GET&db=gilmor&id=I1871 - "Gilmor, Evalyn Kay; ancestors. The approximate marriage date is later than the approximate birth date of her first child as provided by this source - and most of them turned out to be from the other wife. I am wondering how she could have been born in Braintree, married there, but been christened in Devon.
