In 1679 Dorcus Green Bartlett/Barrett sold a lot in Malden that sided on Scollay and Ross. (Dorcus Green was married to James Barrett, a brother of the Barrett women who married Scollay and Ross).
From History of Malden Massachusetts 1633-1785 by Deloraine Pendre Corey page 70 In the third range, the first three lots, forty one to forty three, having been acquired by Nicholas Parker, were sold to Job Lane in 1656 and formed, with some adjoining lands, the "eastermost" of his farms. Before 1688 it was occupied by John Scolley and John Ross, 29 and in that year it was improved by Thomas Wayte, who purchased it in 1704 of the Lane heirs.
29 John Scolley had been a ferryman. His wife was Hannah, daughter of James Barrett. John Ross was his brother in law, having married Mary Barrett.
