Biography

John Scott, Knt., of Scott's Hall, Smeeth, Kent, England^[1]

John, eldest son and heir of Sir William Scott,^[2] was born by 1484 and succeeded his father on 24 August 1524.^[3] John's mother was Sybil Lewknor, daughter of Sir Thomas Lewknor of Trotton, Sussex.^[4] William Scott, K.B., and Sibyl married before 1484.^[5]

"To his advantages of birth [John] Scott could add the lustre of his part in the expedition led by his uncle Sir Edward Poynings to the Netherlands in 1511, which gained him a knighthood from Prince Charles, the future Emperor, subsequently transmuted by Henry VIII into a knighthood of the body."^[4][6][7]

"Sir John Scott, of Scott's Hall, was knighted with several other Kentishmen by the Prince of Castile, for signal services against the Duke of Gueldres."^[8][9]

Sir John was Burgess (M.P.) for New Romney, Kent^[10] in 1512.^[4] He was Knight of the King's Body-guard, Henry VIII (1515-1518) and Sheriff of Kent (1528).^[2]

Wife and Children

John Scott married Anne Pympe before 22 November 1506. Anne was the daughter and heiress of Reynold Pympe, Esq.,^[10] of Nettlestead (near Maidstone), Kent^[4] and his wife Elizabeth (or Isabel) Pashley, daughter of John Pashley, Esq.^[10][11]

Children:

John and Anne (Pympe) Scott had five sons and seven daughters:^[10]

Sons

• John Scott, Knt.^[10]
• Reynold Scott, Knt. (second son, born about 1511/1512), married (1) Emeline Kempe, (2) Mary Tuke^[1]
• William Scott^[10]
• Richard Scott, Esq.^[10]
• George Scott^[10]

Daughters

• Mildred Scott, married (1) John Dyggs, Esq., (2) Richard Keyes, Gent.^[10]
• Katherine Scott, married Henry Crispe, Knt.^[10]
• Isabel Scott, married Richard Adams, Esq.^[10]
• Alice Scott^[10]
• Mary Scott, married Nicholas Ballard, Gent.^[10]
• Elizabeth Scott^[10]
• Sibyl Scott, married Richard Hynde, Esq.^[10]

Death and Burial

John died on 7 October 1533.^[4][10] His eldest son was then 26 years old.^[4] Anne was living in August 1524 and probably died before 16 February 1539/40.^[10]

"It is not known where he or his wife were buried; it is supposed at Nettlested Church in Kent".^[2]

Research Notes

Unsourced Children

Profiles for Johanna, Anne and Pashley do not have appropriate sources to connect John and Anne as their parents and have been detached.

Information on the profile for daughter Sybil (which had showed her also as Isabel, born "circa 1523 - Scotts Hall, Brabourne, Kent, England") is not reliable but includes them:^[12]

• Catherine (or Johanna) Strutt (born Scott)^[13][14]
• Pashley Scott^[13]

The following additional children were also listed (but do not have profiles attached to John [Scott-239]):

• Thomas Scott^[13]
• Sir Walter Scott^[13]

The MyHeritage/Geni lists did not include a son George. Perhaps Pashley was meant to be him?

Death location

Location of "Brabourne, Kent, England" (as of 2 December 2019) was not sourced in the biography. "Brabourne" was deleted from the datafield, but "Kent, England" still needs a source. ~ Noland-165 06:49, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
