Stukeley Westcott first appears on a public record when he was married in St. John's Church in Yeovil, Somerset, England on October 5, 1619 to Juliann Marchante (citing Moriarity, G. Andrews (April 1944). "Additions and Corrections to Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island". The American Genealogist 20: 233.)

"Continued research has, however, definitely located Stukely Westcott in Ilminster, Somerset, in the Autumn of 1619, at which time he was about twenty-seven years of age. This was sixteen years before he came to New England. He was married Oct. 5, 1619, to Juliana Marchant (e). The marriage is recorded in the parish register of the ancient St. John the Baptist Church at Yeovil in Somerset; also the baptism of their two oldest children. The records read:
"Stucklie Westcott of Ilminster, and Julian Marchant of Yeovil, married 5 October, 1619."

'In R. L. Whitman's The Stukely Westcott Family, Vol. 2, p. 7, the marriage of Stukely Westcott is given as "Stucklie Westcott of Ilminster, and Julian Marchant of Yeovil, married 5 October, 1619."'
The author goes on to say that he had an archivist study the original Yeovil parish register under an ultra violet lamp and found that it read: "Stuckley Westcott and Julian Marchante 5 October." The author continues: 'The words "of Ilminster" and "of Yeovil" simply to not appear in the entry. Since Mr. Whitman's papers were all destroyed, it is impossible at this stage to explain why he added the words "of Ilminister." '
