The Town and City of Waterbury, Connecticut ... has much information about Edmund Scott:
Page 123: Edmun Scoot [sic] is listed as one of the signers of the "farming petition" for to make Mattacock a plantation, 9 October 1673.
Page 165: On the next lotbelonging to Edmund Scottwe find a house perfect according to the specifications of the committee. Not a complaint has been made against the work of this man. The original house lot of the late Hon. Green Kendrick, together with Leavenworth street, occupies all of Edmund Scott's lot, and one-half of John Carrington's lot. In this perfect habitation we find a family notable for the number of its members who fell victims to the rage of the Indian. The family consists of Edmund, his wife, who was Elizabeth Fuller and the widow of Thomas Upson, seven sons and one daughter. No other one of the proprietors is so well equipped with sons as is Edmund Scott. It is not surprising that many acres on mountain and in meadow are early recorded to the Scott name, when we find that the boys of the following list are aids to their father in subduing the wilderness. The following ages are estimated from the records of the Probate Court: [Note: The approximate ages are calculated from the birthdate of Samuel given as 1660, above.]
Calc. birth date Joseph, about 20 years, 1656 Edmund, about 18 years, 1658 Samuel, about 16 years, 1660 Jonathan, about 15 years, 1661 George, about 12 years, 1664 David, about 10 years, 1666 Robert, about 8 years, 1668 Elizabeth, about 5 years. 1671 Page 236: At the close of the century, seven of the original proprietors had died in Waterbury, Robert Porter and Philip Judd in 1689, Edmund Scott and John Carrington in 1690 [see note on page 258, below], Abraham Andrews, cooper, in 1693, Samuel Hikcox in 1694, and John Bronson in 1696.
Page 258: Edmund Scott of Waterbury gave to his children nearly all of his property, by a deed of gift, executed June 11, 1690. This deed has been called his "will"hence the error that has arisen in regard to the date of his death.
First Puritan Settlers of Connecticut, First Settlers of the Colony," contains on page 232:
Edmund Scott, sen'r., of Waterburydied in 1691. Children, Joseph, Edmund, Samuel, George, Jonathan, David, Robert, Elizabeth and Hannahsupposed descendants of Thomas of Hartford, (in No. 2, p. 71.) Thomas Scott, of Hartford, died as early as 1643. He had only one son, (Thomas) and several daughters. The widow survived him.
