I am researching Benjamin Scott to determine if there is any relationship to my ancestor, Henry Scott [1], husband of Ann Wright. When Benjamin Scott remarried in 1682/83, many of his children witnessed the marriage. Henry Scott was not named among them.

Notes about their possible children are below:
Based on Quaker records and the Will of Benjamin Scott and Margaret's son John; Benjamin and Margaret only had three daughters: Bridget who married Edward Lucas Sr, Elizabeth who married Robert Lucas Jr and Margaret who married Thomas Lambert Jr. (not seen)
Benjamin Jr died before 10-3rd month-1701 - Hartfordshire England.

Research Notes:
One biosketch names Henry Scott as a son of Benjamin Scott, with no supporting evidence [66]:
Benjamin Scott, son of William Scott, of Essex county, England, was progenitor of the family in New Jersey. He was one of nine commissioners sent by the proprietors from London in 1677 with power to buy lands from the natives. They procured the services of Henrie Jacobson Falcombe as an interpreter, and by his assistance purchased land from Rankokus creek to Timber creek, deed bearing date September 10, 1677; from Timber creek to Oldman's creek, date September 27, 1677 ; from Rankokus creek to Assanpink creek, date October 10, 1677. Benjamin Scott's land was located both sides of Assanpink creek. The homestead farm near Burlington is now owned by Joseph Scott, one of his descendants. Benjamin Scott died near what is now Burlington, 1682.
(II) Henry, son of Benjamin Scott, born 1664; died 1714; married, 1698, Ann Wright, and among their children was a son Henry.
Many printed historical records report Margaret Kinsey to be Benjamin's wife [67]. John Kinsey did deed land to the Scott family. However, I am not aware of any documentation showing his daughter to be married to Benjamin Scott. The website [www.binghamassociation.com] reports Benjamin Scott's wife to be Margaret Bingham.
Undocumented notes about other children: both Bridget and Elizabeth Scott were daughters of Margaret. An old Lucas manuscript, by Mrs. C. F. Fisher, states Elizabeth was the 9th sister of Bridget. Margaret who md. Thomas Lambert 11, and brothers John who md. Hannah Lambert, Martin, who never md., Benjamin 11 of Bishop, Herford, Hardforshire, who left a legacy to his sister Bridget Lucas, and possibly William, who probably died in childbirth. Apparently, some of the older Scott children had stayed in England. Benjamin Scott was originally from Weedington, Thaxton (sic Thaxted?), Essex Co. I "suspect" Margaret (Kinsey) died in childbirth with the son William. After Margaret (Kinsey) died, Benjamin Scott md. in 1682 Hannah Kemball/Kymball, widow of Thomas, daughter of John Chaffon, Gentleman. The manuscript by Mrs. Fisher states "this Scott is a proven Magna Carta line". I have not found documentation for these notes.
Notes about Benjamin Scott: Some sources name Benjamin Scott of Barbados as the commissioner of New Jersey. See "The New Jersey Coast in Three Centuries", page 166-67. However, Burke reported on this Scott family [68], of Bretton, and suggests that the Benjamin Scott, baptized 1631, of Barbadoes, did not settle in New Jersey. See also [69].
The marriage of daughter Briget to Edward Lucas was mentioned. [70]
A summary of the Kimble family of New Jersey has been published. [71]
Benjamin Scott was named in many land records. [72]
