tlie Scotts, whereof Thomas le Scott, the principal, is 
owner of a pretty gentleman’s eftate, but may jultly be 
accounted the prince of the yeomanry, he continuing 
the old manner of houfekeeping, in hofpitality to ftran- 
gers, and relieving the poor; and as he is not fparing to 
liimfelf in taking the recreation with his hounds, when 
his other affairs will give leave, fo he.is not afhamed to 
put his hand to the plough to encourage his fervants ; 
and in truth in thefe parts I know none equals his 
yeoman-like manner of living; but many that take upon 
them to be gentleman-like, come far behind him both 
in eftate and manner of living.” The lands polfeffed by 
thefe feveral families, of which' in the year 1690 there 
were not lefs than nine, all freeholders, are for the mod 
part now centred (the name of Scott entirely) in the
