James Diament Westcott, Jr. (May 10, 1802January 19, 1880) was a United States Senator from Florida. ==Early life and career== Westcott was born in Alexandria, Virginia where his father, James Sr., was transitioning from newspaper publisher to politician.〔(Chapter 6, Charles Holt's Generation )〕 James Jr.'s grandfather was a captain in the American Revolutionary War. When Westcott was young, his family moved to New Jersey where his father established a political career in the Assembly and as Secretary of State of New Jersey from 1830 to 1840. James Jr. married Rebecca Bacon Sibley on August 7, 1821.〔(Cape May County, NJ, Records - Marriages ) from Liber B of Marriages, Archives of New Jersey. Note that Volume 8, number 1, January–February 2001, p. 11, gives his wife's name as Rebecca Sibley Bacon instead of Rebecca Bacon Sibley.〕 He studied law and was admitted to the bar while still in his early 20s. In 1830, he moved to the Florida Territory and was appointed territory secretary by Andrew Jackson. His duties sometimes included performing the duties of the governor when the governor was away — all while barely 30 years old.
