JOHN SCOTT, a victim of Indian treachery, near Pawtucket Ferry, R. I.,
was born probably at Ipswich, Mass., about 1635. He was the son of
Richard and Catherine (Marbury) Scott, who came from England in 1634,
and stopped for a short time at Ipswich. In 1637 they came to
Providence, R. I., where John, about 1660, married Rebecca ((???)),
and settled near Pawtucket Ferry. From time to time he added to his
landed estate. Once, in 1668, he complained of a neighbor for
"entering" upon a portion of his land. He was chosen deputy in 1666.
In 1671, at his request, the town voted "to lay out a highway to Mr.
Blackstone's river, where it may be most convenient." The tradition
seems to be well established that John Scott met his death by being
shot by an Indian in the doorway of his own house. Roger Williams, in
a letter to John Winthrop, Jr., dated June 27, 1675, referred to his
death as follows: "Some say John Scot at Pawtucket Ferry is slain."
The effect of the shot seems not to have proved immediately fatal, for
it is thought he afterwards made his will. At a court martial held at
Newport, August 25, 1676, an Indian, charged with the crime, proved an
alibi and that he "was not at the wounding of John Scot." His wife,
Rebecca, is recorded as a widow November 8, 1677, and died about 1701.
