6: "The Great Migration," by Robert Charles Anderson:
"Thomas SCOTT
Origin: Unknown.
Migration: 1634 (based on grant of land at Cambridge on 4 August 1634 [CaTR 9]).
First Residence: Cambridge.
Removes: Hartford 1636.
Education: His inventory included "1 great Bible & other small books" valued at ₤l [CCCR 1:456].
OFFICEHOldING: Hartford member of Connecticut Colony committee to regulate the trade in corn, 5 April 1638 [CCCR 1:18]. Committee to "view those parts by Unxus Sepus [later Farmington] which may be suitable" for settlement, 16 January 1639/40 [CCCR 1:42].
Estate: … "The 6th November, 1643. The last will and testament of Tho[mas] Scott, of Hartford, deceased, as it was spoken by him to Edward Stebbing and Tymothy Standly who were sent for by him for that end, to whom he expressed his will as followeth: I do give to my wife and son Thomas, the one half of my house and half of my barn and half of my houselot. I do also give unto them my two lots in the North Meadow, and my lot in the Little Meadow, as also the swamps at both ends. I do in like manner give unto them all my corn in my house and barns, both here at Hartford and at Tunxis Cepus, as also two cows and my two elder steers and five hogs, with half my household stuff. I do give them my carts and plows and the tackling belonging to them. And my mind is that if my son Tho[mas] depart this life before my wife, at his death that the one half of the meadow, cattle and household stuff before given to him and my wife, shall be equally divided betwixt my other children then living; and my mind is that my wife shall have power at her death to dispose of and give away the other half of that which is given to her and my son as she seeth fit, except my housing and land, which my mind is shall then come to the rest of my children, at the death of the longest liver of my wife or my son Thomas. I do also make my wife executrix to receive and pay my debts; and my mind is that my youngest daughter do remain with my wife so long as she seeth meet, with the advice of those that oversee my will. My mind also is, that all my daughters be disposed of, both in service and marriage, by my wife and overseers, and that my daughters shall receive their portions, either at the day of their marriage or at twenty years of age, which shall first happen, my mind being that all the remainder of my estate which is not by this my will given to my wife and son Thomas (after my debts are discharged) shall be equally divided among them. The sum and substance of this was expressed by Tho[mas] Scott aforesaid in the presence of us. But before he had named the overseers of his will, the Lord pleased to put an end to his life and prevented him in that and what else he would have said, and therefore the relict of the said Thomas with the approbation of the court hath desired John Talcott, W[illia]m Westwood, Ed[ward] Stebbing and Andrew Warner to assist in seeing the will of the dead performed. And these overseers, understanding from these that are the witnesses of his will, that he often expressed that his mind was his wife and son Thomas should be comfortably provided for, and finding that no provision is made for fuel and firing, do think fit and very agreeable to the mind of the deceased, though prevented by death from expressing himself. in that particular, which yet they leave to the consideration and confirmation of the court, that the widow & Thomas should have liberty to cut & fetCh fire-wood for their own use out of the field commonly called the Adventurers' Field, until the other children, or some of them, do divert it to such improvement as will receive prejudice if this liberty should be continued; and that they should have liberty to cut & fetch any such fuel for their own use out of that piece of ground called the Ox Pasture, during each of their natural lives. They also think fit and agreeable to the mind of the deceased, that the boy servant shall continue with the relict of the said Thomas, during his time. All which they leave to the consideration and confirmation of the court, if they approve thereof [CCCR 1:453-55; Manwaring 1:32-33].
The inventory of the estate of "Tho[mas] Scott deceased," taken 6 January 1643/4, totalled £174 12s. 4d., with no real estate included [CCCR 1:455-56]. (The inventory refers to "the goods... delivered'to the widow Scott for her use" and to "goods of Tho[mas] Scott set apart for his 3 daughters.")
On 9 March 1652[/3?], "whereas Thomas Scott sometime of Hartford... did give & bequeath unto his wife & unto his son Thomas by his last will & testament one messuage or tenement with a barn & other outhouses as also a houselot with the yard or garden therein contained which houselot is esteemed two acres..., and one parcel of meadow with the swamp adjoining lying in the North Meadow esteemed two acres, two roods & twenty-seven perches..., and one parcel more of meadow & swamp lying in the North Meadow of meadow & swamp esteemed twenty & one acres, three roods & eighteen perches..., and one parcel of meadow lying in the Little Meadow esteemed one acre..., and one parcel lying in the old Ox Pasture esteemed eighteen acres..., and one parcel lying for cow pasture, esteemed thirty acres..., and one parcel lying in the Venturers' Field esteemed six acres, twenty-eight perches..., and one parcel lying in the Neck of Land esteemed five acres, twenty-four perches ..., all which parcels of land & half the building & buildings & half the houselot the said Thomas Scott bequeathed to his said wife & to his son Thomas Scott during the time of the natural life of both of them & after their decease unto his daughters Mary Scott, Sarah Scott & Elizabeth Scott ..., the said Mary Porter & Sarah Standly & Elizabeth Loomis with the consent of every of their husbands, viz; Robert Porter, John Standly & John Loomys all now or late of Farmington ... [sold] … all & singular those parcels of land, dwelling house & other buildings on the premises before expressed & were given to us by our father's will & is in reversion after the death of our mother now Anne Ford & after the decease of our said brother Thomas Scott, unto Thomas Cadwell of Hartford ...; it is also agreed upon by the parties abovesaid that if the said Thomas Scott shall survive his mother Ann Ford & that the said Thomas Scott shall be left by the overseers of the will to be paid for & maintained by his brothers & sisters either all or by any of them & that the said Thomas Cadwell shall pay eight pounds by the year during the term of his natural life for every year or part of a year, then we do bind ourselves to free the land & houses from any charges or claims for the maintenance of the said Thomas Scott, during the time of his natural life" [CTLR 2: 123-24; HaBOP 476-79; Manwaring 1:33-35]. (When this deed was registered, the copyist added a header which gave the grantees as "Mary Porter & Sarah Standly & Elizabeth Standly of Farmington." The married surname given for Elizabeth is a careless error by the clerk, as her only husband was John Loomis.)
Birth: By about 1597 (based on estimated date of marriage).
Death: 6 November 1643 (died while dictating a nuncupative will on that date [CCCR 1:453-54; Manwaring 1:32-33]). (At a Connecticut Particular Court in early 1644 [probably in March], the "jury find that John Ewe, by misadventure, was the cause of the death of Tho[mas] Scott. The said John Ewe is fined to pay five pounds to the country and ten pounds to the widow Scotte" [CCCR 1:103; RPCC 25]).
Marriage: By about 1622 Ann ____. "Ann Scott widow" married (2) at Hartford 7 November 1644 Thomas FORD {l 630, Dorchester} [HaVR 605; GMB 1:688-90]. She died at Northampton on 5 May 1675 [Corbin, citing Northampton church records].
Children:
i Thomas SCOTT, b. say 1622 (see Comments below); living 9 March 1652[/3?] [CTLR 2:123-24; Manwaring 1:33-35], unmarried; no further record.
ii Mary SCOTT, b. say 1624; m. Hartford 7 November 1644 Robert Porter [Ha\TR 605].
iii Sarah SCOTT, b. say 1626; m. Hartford 5 December 1645 John Stanley [HaVR 606], son of JohnSTANLEY {1634, Died at sea} [TAG 80:217-20].
iv Elizabeth SCOTT, b. say 1628; m. Windsor 3 February 1648[/9?] John Loomis [Grant 48], son of Joseph LOOMIS {1638, Windsor} [Dawes-Gates 2:567-72; Windsor Hist 2:432-33].
Associations: Thomas Scott may have been brother of Sarah (Scott) Graves, wife of Thomas Graves of Hartford [TAG 82:107-10].
Comments: Although Savage had suggested that the Cambridge records for a Thomas Scott applied to the Hartford man of that name, Pope included the Cambridge records in his sketch for Thomas SCOTT {1634, Ipswich} [Savage 4:39; Pope 404]. 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 March 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.
The order in which the daughters of Thomas Scott were presented in the deed of 9 March 1652[/3?] matches the order in which they were married. These three marriages took place over a span of four years, suggesting that the three daughters were close in age. The estimated ages for the daughters are based on these observations and on our usual rule that women first married at about the age of twenty.
Given this result, we are then forced to state that the son Thomas must have been either the oldest child or the youngest child. From the will, the inventory and the later deed of sale by the three daughters, we conclude that Thomas was not competent to care for himself. In the will of the immigrant the daughters are clearly stated to be minors, but Thomas is not. If Thomas is assumed to be the oldest child, he would have been about twenty-one years old at the time of the will, based on the estimated dates of birth of the daughters, whereas, if he were the youngest Child, he would only be about thirteen years old at the time of the will. We conclude, therefore, that he was the oldest, although the alternative placement remains possible."

8. The book "Emerson-Benson Saga …," by Edmund K. Swigart (Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc., 1994), pp. 351-53:
"JOSEPH1 LOOMIS (JOHNA LUMACE, JOHNB LUMMYS, THOMASC) was born by 1590, perhaps in Braintree, county Lincoln, England, and died 25 November 1658 at Windsor, CT. He was the son of JOHNA LUMACE, a tailor of Thaxted and Braintree and AGNESA LINGWOOD and JANE MARLAN?, daughter of WILLIAMB and MARGARETA (PERYE) MARLAN? of Braintree. He was also the grandson of JOHNB LUMMYS, a carpenter of Thaxted, and Kryster [sic: Krysten] (Christian (___). JOSEPH1 married 30 June 1616 at Messing, county Essex, England, MARY1 WHITE, daughter of ROBERTA, a wealthy yeoman, and BRIDGETA (ALLGAR) WHITE of Shalford, county Essex. MARY1 was baptized 24 August 1590 at Shalford and died 23 August 1652 at Windsor. MARY1's younger sister, ANNA1, married ancestor JOHN1 PORTER.
United States President Ulysses Simpson Grant (18th Chief Executive), Stephen Grover Cleveland (22nd and 24th), and Gerald Rudolph Ford, (38th), were descendants of MARY1's parents and Millard Fillmore (13th President), of her and her parents.
JOSEPH1 was a woolen draper, He and his wife lived in Braintree until 1628. They moved to London and from there sailed with their eight children 11 April 1638 aboard the "Susan and Ellen", the same ship that ancestor Rev. PETER1 BULKELEY had taken in 1635. The LOOMIS family arrived in Boston 11 July 1638, they may have spent their first year in Dorchester, MA, but moved by land in the summer of 1639 to Windsor, CT, "Probably in the company of Reverend Ephraim Huet who arrived there August 17, 1639" (ref. 3). "On 2 Feb. 1640 he had granted to him 21 acres on the west side of the Connecticut River adjoining the Farmington River" (ref. 6). JOSEPH1 continued to acquire land and served on juries in 1642 and in 1644 with Nathaniel1 Foote, brother of ancestor MARYA FOOTE. "On 6 January 1650, he was sued by" [ancestor WILLIAM1 BUELL] "for trespass and for damage to the extent of seven bushels of corn; one may infer that his stock got away from him" (ref. 3).
JOSEPH1 apparently left no will. His estate was valued at 178 pounds 10 shillings, with "a 'debt in England'" (ref. 3) of 12 pounds 14 shillings 6 pence against it. On December 1658, his wife having predeceased him, his five sons and three daughters (two represented by their husbands) signed an agreement in place of a will to divide JOSEPH's estate equitably among them.
The children of JOSEPH1 and MARY1 (WHITE) LOOMIS, all probably born in Braintree, county Lancaster, England, and probably not all listed in the correct order of birth, were.
I Joseph2, b. 1615, ca. 1616; d. 26 Jun 1687 at Windsor, CT; m. 1/wf 17 Sep 1646, Sarah2 Hill 2/wf 28 Jun 1659, Mary Sherwood.
