Roger Wolcott (September 2, 1847 - December 21, 1900) was the son of Joshua Huntington and Cornelia (Frothingham) and brother of Huntington Frothingham. He graduated from Harvard University in 1870, and from Harvard Law School in 1874. He was a Justice of the Peace from 1875-1900, a member of the Massachusetts Legislature (Massachusetts General Court) from 1881-1884, Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts from 1892-1896. He advanced to the Governor's chair in 1896 as a result of the death of Frederic T. Greenhalge and served in that position until 1900.
He was also largely involved in business activities, including the Boston and Albany Railroad and the New England Trust Company, and in philanthropic organizations as a member of the Boston Provident Association, a trustee of the Eye and Ear Infirmary and the Massachusetts General Hospital. He was a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and an overseer of Harvard College.
He married Edith Prescott (b.1853) in 1874, who was the great-granddaughter of Colonel William Prescott, who was the cousin of Roger Sherman's wife Rebecca Minot Prescott. (William Gardiner3, William Hickling2, William Prescott1)
