The

EACOTT

  Genealogy  Web  Site

A web site dedicated to the family name of Eacott and its variations, Eycott, Ecott, Eckett, Acott, Eccott and others

by   John Eacott

Very few people can point to an exact place and say "This is where my ancestors originated." The  manor of  Eycot from which  all Eacotts,  Ecotts take their name was created by  a Saxon charter 1,200 years ago, at a  place which  had probably been a Roman villa and before that a part of the capital area of the Dobunni tribe on the Churn River, north of Cirencester, England.

This web site contains information about the family including the manor, various family lines, background history and anecdotes. The full text of  the book is available and may be copied in full or in part providing the author is acknowledged.

  Each of the selections below is a portion of the Eacott history book. Reading from left to right the entire 50 some pages can be assembled into a sequential copy. There will be updates and revisions from time to time. I have not included much of the material gathered from after 1800 which includes information about specific families such as my own, and a few others. This can  be supplied to anyone desirous by contacting me. I would be delighted to have any contributions by  any  others. This  has been  a  singularly individual project except for the work of  Ms. E.M. Newton who contacted many in England in the 1980's and forwarded her letters to me. None of this information is reproduced here.
