Richard Scott (settler)
Richard Scott (1605–1679) was an early settler of Providence in the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Coming from Berkhamstead in Hertfordshire, he immigrated with his wife and infant to Boston in the Massachusetts Bay Colony where he joined the Boston church in August 1634. By 1637 he was in Providence, signing an agreement that year, and he and his wife both became Baptists for a while. By the mid-1650s, the Quaker religion had taken hold in Rhode Island, and Scott was said to be the first Quaker in Providence. His future son-in-law, Christopher Holder had his right ear cut off for his Quaker activism in Massachusetts, and Scott's wife, who went there to support him, was jailed and given ten lashes with a whip. Providence founder Roger Williams did not care for the Quaker religion, and got into a pamphlet war with Quaker founder George Fox. A letter written by Scott was printed in Fox's pamphlet, and was critical of Williams for his "pride and folly," and noted his inconsistency in professing liberty of conscience by not being tolerant of those who disagreed with him.
Scott was married in England to Katharine Marbury, the daughter of the Reverend Francis Marbury, and sister of the Puritan dissident Anne Hutchinson.
==Life==
Baptized on 9 September 1605 in Glemsford, Suffolk, England, Richard Scott was the son of Edward Scott of Glemsford who was a clothier by trade. While records of the childhood of Scott are lacking, as a young man he appears in Berkhamstead, Hertfordshire, where he was married on 7 June 1632 to Katherine Marbury, the daughter of Francis Marbury, and a younger sister of the famed Anne Hutchinson. The oldest child of the Scotts was baptized in Berkhamstead in March 1634, but within months of this date the couple and their infant boarded a ship for New England. The ship on which the family traveled has not been discovered, but it was not the ''Griffin'', as suggested by Austin, because on 28 August 1634 Richard Scott was admitted to the Boston church in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, while the ''Griffin'' did not land until several weeks later.
About August 1637 Scott was in Providence, where he and twelve others signed an agreement subjecting themselves to the collective agreements made for the public good. This document was generally signed by Providence inhabitants who arrived too late to be included in an earlier division of lands, or else those who were minors during the earlier division. Scott was not closely associated with the Antinomian Controversy surrounding his sister-in-law, Anne Hutchinson, in 1637 and 1638, as were most of Hutchinson's other relatives, but he was present at her church trial in Boston on 15 March 1637/8, and did speak briefly in her defense. While not involved with Hutchinson, the Scotts nevertheless experimented with non-Puritan religions, and Scott's wife became a Baptist. Massachusetts governor and journalist, John Winthrop, reacted to this when he wrote in 1639, "at Providence things grew still worse: for a sister of Mrs. Hutchinson, the wife of one Scott, being infected with Anabaptistry...was re-baptized by one Holyman..." He went on to criticize the Baptists for denying infant baptism, and having no magistrates.
