1664 Henry Scott's birth has been reported in Essex, England [We seek evidence for this possibility]. Henry Scott may be related to Benjamin Scott [89] [90] [91]. However, Henry was not named as a child of Benjamin Scott when Benjamin's children were listed for his second marriage to Hannah [92]. The family of Benjamin Scott is linked by marriage to some families that we are researching.
It has been reported that Margaret Hancock, daughter of John Scott, descendant of Benjamin Scott, perhaps through his son Henry, owned part of the original Benjamin Scott tract [93] [94]. We would welcome any documentation or further evidence supporting this claim.

"The known members of this [Scott] family, among the early emigrants to New-England, were Richard Scott, of Providence, who landed at Boston in 1633-4; John Scott, (The Massachusetts Hist. Society Proceedings, for 1862-3 [Vol 6, p 66-74?], contains about all that is known of John Scott in this country.) of Long-Island fame, who came over in 1642-3; Judge Edward Scott, of Newport, R. I., and his cousin James Scott, about 1710. The male line of each has become extinct, except that of Richard; unless, as some suppose, John Scott left a son John (as shown by a pedigree in the family of the late Dr. William Jenks, of Boston), who it is thought received a grant of land in East Jersey from Sir George Carteret, in consideration of the services rendered by his father, in procuring, from the duke of York, the grant of East-Jersey to Sir George and Lord Berkley. Richard, Edward, and James Scott, were from a younger branch of the Scotts of Scotts-Hall, seated at Glemsford, Suffolk, since the sixteenth century." [96]
