• Edmund Scott appears in the records of Rattlesden in 1569 as a "Questman", a parish officer. This is the first mention found of him, although the records begin in 1558, and as the baptisms of his two eldest children are not of record, he possibly came to Rattlesden about 1556 from some other parish. In 1588-89, he was a church warden and in 1593, he was a collector. In 1611, Edmund Scott, "Sr." served again as collector. His age at death was probably exaggerated.

• Henry Scott grew up in Rattlesden, a yeoman farmer. After his death, his family continued to reside there until 1634 when they emigrated to America. His widow, Martha, aged about sixty (really fifty-six), his son Thomas and his family, his daughter, Ursula (Scott) Kimball with her husband, Richard Kimball, their children, and Kimball's brother, Henry Kimball, and his family, sailed in the Elizabeth of Ipswich, 30 Apr. 1634. This shipping list, given by both Drake and Hotten, is divided into two parts, those who took the oath of allegiance and those who did not, the latter being children under age.

Thomas Scott of Ipswich was baptized in Rattlesden, England on February 26, 1594/5. He sailed to America on the Elizabeth in 1634, and died in Ipswich, Massachusetts Bay Colony, between 8 March 1653/4 and 20 March 1654.

Thomas Scott, ae. 40, with wife Elizabeth, ae. 40, and ch. Thomas, ae. 11, and Elizabeth, ae. 9, came in the Elizabeth of Ipswich April 30, 1635.

The spelling on the ship's passenger list of the "Elizabeth" was, "Skott."

He settled at Cambridge; propr. 1633, frm. March 4, 1634-5. Rem. to Ipswich; propr. 1635; town officer, 1653.

He was a son of Henry Skott of Rattlesden, Suffolk, yeoman, and his wife Martha; the father d. in 1624, and the widow came as above; her dau. Ursula, wife of Richard Kembold or Kimball, came in the same ship. Reg. Lii, 248.

Barbour ("Early Families of Hartford") has Thomas Scott, who "was killed careless by John Ewe" in Hartford, as an original proprietor in Farmington, CT, but did not reside there. This was a common occurrence, as it turns out. Farmington was unusual in having several absentee proprietors. In nearly every case, children or in-laws took over the properties from the non-residents in the next generation. The only other (male) Scott in Farmington in the 17th century was Edmund Scott, spouse of Hannah Bird (and his descendants). There were approximately 85 "original proprietors," and the land in Farmington was not allowed to pass out of the possession of these families until after the American Revolution.

Notes

Thomas3 Scott (Henry2, Edmund1) was baptized in Rattlesden on February 26, 1594/5. He married there on July 20, 1620, Elizabeth Strutt. With her and their children, his mother and his sister Ursula Kemball’s family, he came to New England in 1634, having crossed the Atlantic in the Elizabeth from Ipswich in Old England. After a short stay in Cambridge he settled in Ipswich, where he was granted a house-lot in 1635.

Scott took the Freeman’s Oath on March 4, 1634/5. He was selectman of Ipswich in 1636/7, constable in 1641, served on grand juries 1645, 1648 and 1651, and on trial juries in 1647, 1649 and 1653. The town of Ipswich sued him for debt in 1646, and he was one of Major Denison’s subscribers in 1648. He was a glover by trade.

Gov. Winthrop tells of one Scott and Eliot of Ipswich who “were lost in their way home and wandered up and down six days and eat nothing. At length they were found by an Indian being almost senseless from want of rest.” These were the hazards of land travel in the forests of Essex county in the early seventeenth century.

The will of Thomas Scott of Ipswich was made March 8, 1653/4, and proved March 28, 1654. To his daughters Elizabeth and Abigail he left £25 each, half to be paid within half a year of his decease and the rest within a year. To his daughters Hannah, Sarah and Mary, £25 each, to be paid when they reached the age of twenty-one, but, if they married before that age, one-half was to be paid on their marriage days. Residue to son Thomas. Executors: brother Richard Kembell, Thomas Rowlinson, sr., Edmund Bridges. The inventory of £318 lists three books, much cloth and pewter and the house, barn and land. The legacies of Sarah and Mary Scott were paid to Mr. Ezekiel Rogers for them in 1661 and 1663, and Haniell Bosworth receipted for that of his wife Abigail in 1663[4] …

Footnotes

1. Ten years after her husband's death, Martha Scott set sail for America with her son Thomas Scott and her daughter Ursula Kemball and ten grandchildren of all ages from a boy of eighteen to a baby of one. This family group embarked on the Elizabeth of Ipswich on the last of April in 1634, the adults taking the Oath of Allegiance at the Ipswich Customs House before sailing. Martha Scott's age is given on the list as sixty although she was actually 66. The Scotts and Kemballs settled in Ipswich after a short stay in the Boston neighborhood.
2. Thomas Scott's will was dated 8 March 1654. He died on 17 MAR 1654 at Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts. (S8, S9). His will was probated 28 March 1654, a few days later. This will gives 25 pounds to each of his daughters: Elizabeth, Abigail, Hannah, Sarah and Mary. The two eldest were to be paid with the year, the younger to be paid at age twenty-one or half the sum sooner at marriage.
3. Thomas apparently had a large estate, part of which was a vessel. John Kimball gives an affidavit to the court in 1684 that Thomas Scott of Ipswich and John Degrade of New York had dealt a large amount with each other, and that Thomas Scott said he had John Degrade in prison for a debt that he owed him. Thomas died intestate, in 1657, before MAY. His family petitioned the court on 25 SEP 1683 concerning the disposition of his estate, claiming that his widow presented an imperfect inventory to the court, with a subsequent inventory still being imperfect, with excessive debts and an imprecise list of creditors. They present what they claim to be a perfect inventory

• THOMAS SCOTT (1597-1643) **Elizabeth Ann Strutt (1594-1678) THOMAS SCOTT was born about 1597 in Rattlesden, Suffolk, England to Henry Scott (1565-1624) and Martha Whatlock (1575-1634.)

He married Elizabeth Ann Strutt 20 July 1620 in Rattlesden, England.

He arrived at the Massachusetts Bay with his family from England in 1634 on the “Elizabeth” at about the age of 37.

The family first settled in Cambridge, and he was one of the 25 “Adventures” who followed Thomas Hooker overland to found Hartford, Connecticut, in 1635, where he was a founder and original proprietor. When he first arrived, he kept a bridge over brick-hill brook, at five shillings per annum. In 1639, he was chosen in the midwinter, to go and examine the country, or in the words of the records, “to view those parts of Unxus Sepus,” because Hartford desired more ample accommodations and Wethersfield also desired a plantation at Farmington.

He was accidently shot while with a friend in November 1643. He died while dictating a nuncupative will in the presence of two friends who had been summoned in haste to receive his last words on 6 November 1643.

At a Connecticut Particular Court in early 1644 [probably in March], the “jury find that John Ewe, by misadventure, was the cause of the death of Tho[mas] Scott. The said John Ewe is fined to pay five pounds to the court and ten pounds to widow Scotte.”)
