"Captain Jeckomiah Scott was the son of Captain John Scott, who figures so extensively in the early history of the Long Island towns. His mother was Deborah Raynor, daughter of Thurston Raynor. John Scott eventually deserted his wife and left the country. The Governor appointed her brother, Joseph Raynor, and Richard Howell, to collect what they could of his property, for the benefit of his wife and family. There is on record in one of the books of deeds in the Town Clerk's office, Southampton, a copy of a letter written by John Scott to his son Jeckomiah, who was probably an only child.

"Jeckomiah Scott married Mary, daughter of Colonel John Jackson, of Queens County; another daughter, Patience, married Joshua Barnes, of Southampton. Captain Jeckomiah Scott purchased the homestead of his brother in law, Joshua Barnes, in Southampton, March 22, 1706, and was living there at the time of his death. This is now the homestead of William S. Pelletreau. The tombstone of Captain Jeckomiah Scott, in the burying ground at Southampton, states that he died March 9, 1749, aged 86. His son Lazarus went to Greenwich, Conn. His daughter Deborah married Joseph Hildreth; Sarah probably married Richard Howell. Thomas Scott lived at Seponack, on the homestead of the late Captain Elias White, and of his father, Captain Edward White, before him.--William S. Pelletreau] [from: Heritage Books Inc., New York Abstracts of Wills, 1665-1801 (CD #9), (Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, 1997), "CD-ROM," 326.]"
