168 Timekri. 



Assembly for St. Elizabeth, of that name, from 1677 to 1688 ; though 

 Roby believed the member to be the son of Thomas Scott who settled 

 the Y.S. (originally called Wyes or Whiesse) plantation in St. Elizabeth. 

 His wife was daughter of John Oxenbridge, the sixth pastor of the First 

 Church of Boston, from 1671 till his death in 1674, who left England at 

 the restoration, having been ejected from his living, went first to Surinam, 

 thence in 1667 to Barbados and in 1671 to Boston. He is recorded 

 " amongst the most elegant writers as well as most eloquent preachers of 

 his time." He was censor and licenser of the press in Boston; he be- 

 queathed his library to the Public Library of Boston. He bequeathed his 

 house to his executrix, his daughter, Bethshua Scott : it stood near the 

 First Church. 



His name still lives in Scott's Cove, near Banister Bay. 



In July, 1672 Marcus Brant, Co-commissioner with Cranfield and 

 Dickenson, settled 1,000 acres adjoining Fonthill on the north-east. 



The Cliffords have already been referred to. 



Roby, in his " History of the Parish of St. James," says : 

 " St. Dorothy, separated from Clarendon in 1675, I conjecture to 

 have received its name in compliment to a Dorothy Wale who had 

 probably a large estate there." Thiq can hardly be, for the parish of St. 

 Dorothy was formed in 1675, and Dorothy Wale only came from Surinam 

 in September of that year. She came with her daughter by a previous 

 marriage Eliza Rendar. She married at Spanish Town on the 15th of - 

 June, 1676, as her third husband, Colonel Theodore Cary, the son of 

 George Cary of Cockington, Devon, England, whence sprang the Barons 

 Hunsdon, Earls of Dover, Earls of Monmouth and Viscount Falkland. He 

 had matriculated at Oxford in 1642, "aged 18." In 1665 he had served 

 with Edward Morgan against St. Eustatius. At the time of his marriage 

 he was one of Nelson's predecessors as Captain of Fort Charles and 

 commander at Port Royal. He was member of the Assembly for St. 

 Dorothy from 1677 to 1679, when he was called up to the Council. In 

 1677 he took up 40 acres of land in Clarendon. He lies buried in what 

 is now the Cathedral at Spanish Town : — 



On a black marble slab are : Arms (argent) on a bend (sable) three 

 roses (of the field) a mullet for difference in sinister chief. 



" Here lyeth the Body of Colonell THEODORE CARY, one of the 

 sonnes of Cockington House in Devonshire, Brother to SR HENRY 

 CARY, Captaine of hi8 Maties. Fort at PORT-ROYAL, one of his Maties. 

 Council), and one of the Judges of the Grand Court in JAMAICA. He 

 died June 26th, 1683, in ye yeare of his age 63." 



Ely and Westhorpe, who as we have seen were leading planters in 

 Surinam, had plantations side by side on Banister's Bay, as appears in 

 the map of 1684.
