28. From a list of documents provided to Samuel Pepys by Col. Thomas Lovelace dated May 5, 1780 [GDS pp. 17-19]. John Scott's other activities in New York in which he managed to squander the funds intrusted to him are documented in the history of "John Scott's Rebellion" by which he became president of Long Island for a few days in March 1663/4. He was seized at his manor at Setauket, taken to Hartford, Connecticut, and in May convicted of treason. In July he escaped to Brooklyn in New Amsterdam and recruited a force to support an invasion by Colonel Richard Nicolls. [Cf. Lilian T. Mowrer, The Indomitable John Scott: Citizen of Long Island. (New York: Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, 1960). A sketch appears in the Dictionary of National Biography JAD. Another even shorter sketch by Molly MCarthy appears on one of Newsday's web sites.] In 1665 in consolidating and trying to recover his Long Island holdings he sold Hallelujah into servitude [OB1, p. 17].

It has been claimed [A. G. Hibbard, History of the Town of Goshen, Conn, . . . Hartford, 1897, p. 526] that the Anthony Thomson who was an early settler in New Haven was son of Henry Thompson of Sandwich. This would make him Dorothy's uncle. However, the settler died in New Haven in 1648, while Dorothy's uncle of that name executed his mother's will in 1650 [Archdeaconry Court of Canterbury, Original Wills, Box 263, No. 1325 [FHL 188970].] not dying until 1682 [William Berry, County Genealogies, Pedigrees of the Families of the County of Kent;. . . (London, 1830) [FHL Q942.23 D2ber].
