Biography

Capt. John Scott II was born about 1672 in New Kent, Virginia to parents John Scott and Mary Bassett (Widow Foster).

John was a passenger arriving in Virginia, though the year is unknown^[1]

He married Judith Dudley, daughter of Ambrose Dudley and possibly Anne Foster, in 1699^[2].

John was recorded as a burgess for Westmoreland county in Virginia, United States in 1698.^[3]

John (35) married Judith Dudley (28) (born about 1679 in Lower Norfolk, Colony of Virginia; daughter of Ambrose W. Dudley Sr. and Anne Judith (Foster) Dudley) in 1708 in New Kent, Virginia^[4]. Their children were:

1. John Scott (~1700–1729) ^[5]
2. William Scott (1701–1742)
3. Judith Scott (~1704–1785)
4. Joseph Scott (~1708–<1749) ^[6]
5. Samuel Mosely Scott (1708–1755)
6. Sarah Scott ^[7]
7. Jane Scott ^[8]
8. Martha Frances Scott (1716–>1793) ^[9]
9. Jesse Scott ^[10]
10. Martha Frances Scott (1716–1794)

Research Notes

No references for the following facts:

• Residence Plantation New Kent, Virginia
• Vestryman for St. Peter's Parish New Kent, Virginia
• Justice of the Peace/Sheriff New Kent, Virginia
• Coroner New Kent, Virginia
• Plantation Owner New Kent, Virginia
• Farmer

I beleive the Colonel John Scott that was in the Revolutionary War was a child, or someone else, because this John passed in 1729 and the war wasn't until 1775.
