Profile managers, please review whether or not you are PM on the correct profile now that we've detangled the knot of the two different Thomas Scotts.

He was the son of [[Scott-245|Henry Scott]] and [[Whatlock-1|Martha Whatlock]][Holman, Mary Lovering.

He became a [[:Category: Glovers|glover]].[Henry F. Waters, “Genealogical Gleanings In England,”[[Space:NEHGR|The New England Historical & Genealogical Register]], Vol. 52, April. 1898.

He married Elizabeth Strutt on 20 July 1620 in Rattlesden, Suffolk, England.

:''(1620) July 20 Thomas Scott and Elizabeth Strutt were Maried''
The village of Rattlesden and the surrounding area was a hotbed of Puritan sentiment during much of the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1634, a local wheelwright, Richard Kemball, Thomas' brother-in-law, led a relatively large company from Rattlesden to the Massachusetts Bay Colony as part of the wave of emigration that occurred during the Great Migration.[[[Wikipedia: Rattlesden]] referencing: Thompson, Roger.

Amherst: University of Massachusetts Press, 1994. pp 212-213]
Thomas and Elizabeth, along with his mother [[Whatlock-1|Martha]] and his sister [[Scott-217|Ursula Kimball]] and her family, immigrated on the ship [[:Category:Elizabeth, 1634|Elizabeth]]: "Thomas Skott," aged 40, "Elizabeth his wife," aged 40, "Martha Scott," aged 60, "Elizabeth Scott," aged 9, "Abigail Scott," aged 7 and "Thomas Scott," aged 6,[ were enrolled at Ipswich as passengers for New England under Master Willis Andres.]
They settled in Ipswich, Massachusetts Bay Colony where Thomas was granted a house-lot in 1635. 4, 1634/5.[Shurtleff, Nathaniel. ''[[Space:Records of the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England|Records of the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England]]'' (William White, Boston, 1853-) [https://archive.org/details/recordsofgoverno01mass/page/370 Vol 1, 370].] He was selectman of Ipswich in 1636/7, constable in 1641, served on grand juries 1645, 1648 and 1651, and on trial juries in 1647, 1649 and 1653.
The town of Ipswich sued him for debt in 1646, and he was one of Major Denison’s subscribers in 1648.[Davis, Walter. ''[[Space:The Ancestry of Phoebe Tilton, 1775-1847|The Ancestry of Phoebe Tilton, 1775-1847]]'' (The Anthoensen Press, Portland, Maine, 1947). [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/wu.89065996662 p 118-120].]
Thomas died sometime between writing his will on 8 March 1653/4 and 17 Mar 1653/4, when the inventory of his estate was taken.
"The will of Thomas Scott of Ipswich was made March 8, 1653/4, and proved March 28, 1654. To his daughters Elizabeth and Abigail he left £25 each, half to be paid within half a year of his decease and the rest within a year. To his daughters Hannah, Sarah, and Mary, £25 each, to be paid when they reached the age of twenty-one, but, if they married before that age, one-half was to be paid on their marriage days. Residue to son Thomas. Executors: brother Richard Kembell, Thomas Rowlinson, sr., Edmund Bridges."[Walter Goodwin Davis, ''The ancestry of Phoebe Tilton, 1775-1847, wife of Capt. Abel Lunt ...'' (Portland, Me: Anthoensen Press, 1947), 119; digital images, [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/wu.89065996662?urlappend=%3Bseq=137 ''Hathi Trust''].]
"The inventory of £318 lists three books, much cloth and pewter and the house, barn and land. The legacies of Sarah and Mary Scott were paid to Mr. Ezekiel Rogers for them in 1661 and 1663, and Haniell Bosworth receipted for that of his wife Abigail in 1663."
Estate Inventory on 17 Mar 1653/54 valued £319-19-11; £129 in real estate.

==Research Notes==
:'''Merge caution:''' Thomas Scott of Ipswich needs to be distinguished from [[Scott-3511|Thomas Scott of Cambridge and Hartford]] who was also an early immigrant. Early secondary sources mixed the records of the two men. For example, both Savage in his ''Genealogical Dictionary of New England'' and Pope in his ''Pioneers of Massachusetts'' err in combining the records of the two men.[Savage. ''[[Space:A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England|A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England]]'', volume 4 of 4, (1862), [https://hdl.handle.net/2027/hvd.hn3aux?urlappend=%3Bseq=51 vol. 4 page 39].][Pope, Charles Henry. ''[[Space:The Pioneers of Massachusetts|The Pioneers of Massachusetts]]'' (Boston, 1900): [https://archive.org/stream/pioneersofmassac00pope#page/404/mode/2uppage 404].] (The ancestry of Phoebe Tilton, 1775-1847 also makes this error).
:[[Scott-397|Thomas Scott of Ipswich, MA]] was baptized in Rattlesden, England in 1594.
:“The records for Thomas Scott of Cambridge are continuous from late 1634 until early 1635, whereas Thomas Scott of Ipswich was made a freeman on 4 Mar 1634/5 [MBCR 1:370], demonstrating that these were two separate men. The disappearance of Thomas Scott from Cambridge shortly before a man of the same name appeared at Hartford indicates that the records in these two towns pertain to the same man, participating in the larger migration from Cambridge to Hartford."[Robert Charles Anderson, ''Great Migration Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635,'' Boston, MA: NEHGS (2008), vol 6, p 218.
