Thomas THOMAS ALIAS SCOTT ²

  Notes:

Thomas was the only son of James Scott alias Thomas, a yeoman farmer. He had seven children with his wife Petronell (qv) - three boys and four girls - baptised in Lanlivery, Luxulyan and Lanivet in Cornwall. He did not inherit his father's land, and he moved between parishes, so he could have had a trade. He does not appear to have left a will.

Their eldest son Thomas married Grace Littleton in Lanivet, but little more is known about them. Their two eldest daughters were Jane and Junepriered, only known through their entries in the baptism register. Their next son Robert was a prosperous yeoman farmer in the Parish of Lanivet, and was living at his newly built house on Trekillick Farm when he died in 1732: it is likely that at least some of his wealth was acquired through his marriage to Thamosyn Bullock, with whom he had eight children, six surviving childhood. He also inherited some of his grandfather's land in Lanlivery. Thomas and Petronell's youngest son was James (qv), and their youngest daughters were Agnes who married Richard Rundell of Lanlivery, and moved to St Winnow, and Elizabeth, the only child to be baptised in Lanivet.

Thomas probably moved to Lanivet around 1670. He administered his mother's probate there in 1676, and outlived his wife who was buried in Lanivet in 1679, but his burial has not been found in that Parish Register. (The Thomas Thomas who was buried there in 1690 was from another family.)
