Thomas THOMAS ALIAS SCOTT ²

  Notes:

Thomas was the only son of James Scott alias Thomas, a yeoman farmer. He did not inherit his father's land, but he was a yeoman farmer at the time of his death in Lanivet, so may already have had his portion. He had 11 children with his wife Petronell (qv) - five boys and six girls - baptised in Lanlivery, Luxulyan and Lanivet, all to the south of Bodmin.

Their eldest son Thomas married Grace Littleton in Lanivet, but little more is known about him. Their two eldest daughters were Jane who married John Hawkin, and Junepriered (aka Jennifer) who married John Hender of Helland. 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 next three sons were John, Lawrence and James (qv). Their youngest daughters were Agnes who married Richard Rundell of Lanlivery and moved to St Winnow; and Eleanor, Elizabeth, amd Mary.

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. He was buried in Lanlivery in 1689, and his will shows that he was a moderately prosperous farmer, leaving money and property to his children. His younger sons Lawrence and James were his executors and residual beneficiaries.
