Yes, Willott Road IS named after my family. No, my family is not rich-- we were farmers. I joke that I'm related to about half the dead people in St. Charles County.
The Willott family came to the US around 1825 or 1828 from southwestern Germany and settled in the area where Spencer Creek Subdivision is now located. Willott Road runs along the south edge of the old farmstead, the covered bridge is approximately at the eastern edge of the property and Spencer Road makes up the old western boundary. I am not certain where the northern edge ran. That property was owned by my great-great-grandmother, Johanna ZERR WILLOTT, until about 1907.
Here are some pages on families in my ancestry.
