Notes
General:
A clothier of Glemsford.
The wills of both young John Frost and Richard Scott plainly place them in the manufacture of woolen cloth, England's principal industry of the day; tehy were, more precisely, middle men who bought the wool, commissioned the shearing, spinning and weaving (all of which were done in private households), and then arranged the sale of the finished product.
He was buried on 5 Feb 1564/5, and made his will on 7 February 156(4?) Will proved 27 May 1565.

The Scotts were no easier ot sort out than were the Frosts. Richard Scott of Finstead End, yeoman, was having childrne baptized at Glemsford during most of the time that Ricahrd Scott, clotheir, Ann's father, was, and the praish record are relatively sketchy. Fortunately, however, btoh left wills. Johan, the clother's widow, was a later wife and not Ann's mother. Presumably, Joanna, wife of Richard Scott, buried at Glesford on 23 Aug 1556, was. On 8 Oct 1556, Richard married johan Tollington or Tollerton, widow of Chritopher Tollerton of Cavendish, which is adjacent to Glemsford. The latter, in nhis will dated 20 May 1556, proved 23 Sept 1556, bequeathed 40 s and a cow to Adnrew (no surname or relationship given), his mother to keep it as long as she thinks good. He must be the Adnrew identifieed in Richard's will as Johan's son. AFter Richard's death, she married Thomas Heywarde teh elder of GLemsford, husbandman. He left his wife's son Andrew James a certain sum.
He was wrongly named by Sir Anthony Wagner as great grandfather of Edward Scott, a Glesmford Clthoer, whose spurious pedigree roll of ca 1608 was the basis for the claim that the arms paitned thereon belonged to the latter's son, Richard Scott of Providence, RI, who immigrated in 1634 (Wagner, pp 415-6; Richard Le Baron Bowen, "The Arms of Richard Scott", NEHGR, 96(1942): 3-18, 192-94.
Editors' note: The pedigree roll purprits to show the descent of Edward Scott fo Glemsford (d 1643), father of Richard Scott of Profidence RI, from teh Scotts of Scotts Hill, co Kent, a descent that Wagner proves is both false and fraudulent. The roll, as printe din NEHGR< says taht Edward's wife was Sarah, sister of Ricahrd Carter, of Brook Hall,m in co Essex, and that Edward Scott was a son of Edward Scott of Glemsford by his wife Elizabeth "Daughter of --- Grome of Suffolke", and grandson of Edward Scott by his wife Mary, daughter of John WArren. Wagner places Edward as son of the Richard Scott, clothier, of Glemsford, who died in 1565 and who the present article proves was the father of Ann (Scott) Frost. Dr. Porter shows that Richard Scott's son Edward hada son Edward baptized in 1573/4, hardly old enough to be grandfather of Richard Scott, who was born apparently in 1605. Further investigation is cnessary before we can accept any of the connections in the roll.
Richard Scott of Fynstead, parish of Glemsford, yeoman, was the father of Joanna Strutt who married John Belgrave. I don't see where they are related, atleast, so far as is known.
