| Anecdote | 1681 | He was the eldest son of Thomas and Ann Scott. He was probably born between 1655 and 1660. He lived on land that is just south of what is now Cheriton near the head of King's Creek. In 1681 he bought 150 acres from his brother-in-law, William Mellinge. ( Husband to his sister Ann Scott) (Book XIV pg 17) In 1710 he purchased another adjoining 150 acres from his nephew William Mellinge. (Book XIX pg 177) William married first, before 1682, Elizabeth Hanby. She was the daughter of Richard Hanby and his second wife, Maria (Stratton) Chilcott. (See will of Richard Hanby, Book XIII pg 296) Richard and Maria were married in 1656. (See their marriage agreement Book VII pg 8). Maria was listed as a daughter and headright for Alice Stratton the wife of Henry Bagwell. (Book I pg 46) It is not known when Elizabeth died but in 1709 William married Ann Davis, the recent widow of John Davis. Ann was born Ann Nottingham and was the daughter of Richard Nottingham the immigrant who died in 1692. Ann had been married three times. Her first husband was Charles Parkes who died in 1694. ( will in Book XVII page 269). They had two daughters; Ann and Joan. Her second husband was Thomas Cowdrey, born 1658 and died in 1698. (will in Book XVII page 490. Her third husband was John Davis who died in 1709. (will in Book XVIII page 469) William died intestate around 1712 as his inventory was recorded by his widow Ann. He would have been about 55 years old. It is uncertain how many children William and Elizabeth had but their were at least two sons; William and Joseph. In 1711 William Sr gave one half of his land to his son William Jr. (Book XXI-R pg 7) Very little is known about Joseph. In 1722 Joseph bought 100 acres from his brother William. Another deed in 1725 reveals that Joseph moved to North Carolina and he sold the land back to William. This was part of the original 300 acre farm.6,3 |
