2024 Westcott Society Reunion in Charlotte, July 18 to 21
Many thanks to Jennifer Wescott Verutto for planning and hosting the 44th Biennial Reunion of the Society of Stukely Westcott Descendants of America at the Doubletree Suites in Charlotte, North Carolina from July 18 to 21. It was a grand time with cousins from Florida, California, Minnesota and New England, and many places in between, such as Kansas right there in the middle. See
the 2024 Reunion page.
The First Reunion
In 1935, the first Westcott Society Reunion got underway in Salem, Massachusetts, where Stukely and Juliana Westcott and their children first settled in North America 300 years earlier. Then, just like the first Westcotts, the gathering migrated to Providence, R.I. for more tours and festivities. See photos from both locales at the 1935 Reunion page.
We have lots of great 2018 Reunion photos posted on the 2018 REUNION page under the REUNIONS tab above.
