Biography

He was NOT a son of Benjamin Scott and Margaret Stevenson!!! There is no record anywhere showing that they had a son named William!!

Questionable parentage of William Scott: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/SCOTT/2002-09/1032025366 SCOTT-L Archives Archiver > SCOTT > 2002-09 > 1032025366 From: BJCOD@aol.com Subject: Re: [SCOTT] Benjamin and Margaret (Stevenson) Scott Date: Sat, 14 Sep 2002 13:42:46 EDT This e-mail repeats a common error in identifying William Scott's parents as Benjamin and Margaret (Stephenson) Scott and probably mixes the records of two Benjamin Scotts. Benjamin Scott of Braintree MA was born in 1612 in England, married Hannah ? (possibly Chaffor), and had at least four children: John, Peter, Benjamin, and Hannah. Benjamin died in 1654 and left a will (in Suffolk County MA probate records) that makes no mention of a son William or any descendants of such a person. Benjamin Scott of Rowley MA married Margaret Stephenson (possibly in 1634) and had at least seven children: Joseph, Benjamin, John, Elizabeth, Mary, Samuel, and Sarah. Benjamin died about July 1671 and left a will (in Essex County MA probate records) that makes no mention of a son William or any descendants of such a person.Since William Scott of Hatfield MA did not die until at least 1716, the fact that he was not mentioned in the will of either Benjamin pretty much rules out a father-son relationship. It is also noteworthy that none of William Scott's ten children is named Benjamin or Margaret.While an Edward Scott was married in Hadley MA in 1670 and a John Scott was married in Springfield MA in 1659, no linkage to William Scott in nearby Hatfield MA has been found. Over 330 years after William Scott first appeared in the records of Hatfield MA, his parentage and relationship to other Scotts in MA remain a mystery.

It is better that no name be put in if the parentage is not sure! leave it blank!!

The more I work on this family the more I believe that John Scott about 1635 – 3 January 1689 • LT4T-R78 was either a brother or a cousin https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LT4T-R78

And that Sarah Ann Scott 1595 – 17 December 1666 • LVXV-QRS who married Thomas Graves 19 October 1598 – 11 November 1662 • LJ22-2XL may have been their aunt. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LVXV-QRS
