52623 Pg 1288 In the Register for Jan 1868 (Vol xxii p.13) Mr. Scott gave some notes on the lineage of Richard Scott of Providence, which was also reprinted in a pamphlet of nine pages. He attempted to destroy the theory advanced by some that Richard was the son of Edward Scott of Glemsford, Suffolk, Eng., and advanced the conclusion that Richard was a son of Richard, a brother of Edward. The will of George Scott given above conclusively shows that Richard Scott of Providence, RI was son of Edward Scott of Glemsford, Suffolk, Eng.
