Research Notes

Parentage unknown. Father is possibly a vague George Scott I. No known link to Scot's Hall. Varnell-40 12:13, 15 July 2015 (EDT)

Until further confirmation of George's own ancestry can be found, he's being detached from all older Scotts, as well as from wife Maude Pigot. There is no evidence that he was the son of William Scott of Scotts Hall, Brabourne, Kent.

MERGE & EDITING NOTICE: George Scott (b abt 1495; d btw Oct 1547-Feb 1548), ancestor of Thomas Scott of Ipswich and his sister Ursula Scott who married Richard Kimball, is the furthest-back confirmed ancestor, according to John B. Threlfall's 1990 work in which he disproves 1896 claims by Harold Bowen that George was descended of the renowned Scott family of Braebourne and Scotshall, Kent.

NOTE: there is no such discussion / disproving in Threlfall's book. Smith-32867 09:20, 2 April 2017 (EDT)

No evidence in Threlfall for title Sir or middle initial C, and middle names are almost unheard of for this period. I have removed these from the name fields. Millard-1402 20:05, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
