Biography of Thomas Scott 1638-1688
In 1638 Thomas Scott was born to Edward Scott and Catherine Goring although John Evelyn suggests in the entry for 16 Jul 1663 that he is the son of Prince Rupert Palatinate Simmern 1st Duke Cumberland (age 18).
In 1663 Thomas Scott (age 25) and Caroline Carteret were married.
Evelyn's Diary. 16 Jul 1663. [his father-in-law] Sir George Carteret (age 53), Treasurer of the Navy, had now married his daughter, [his wife] Caroline, to Sir Thomas Scott (age 25), of Scott's Hall, in Kent. This gentleman was thought to be the son of Prince Rupert (age 43).
Evelyn's Diary. 02 Aug 1663. This evening I accompanied Mr. Treasurer and [his father-in-law] Vice-Chamberlain Carteret (age 53) to his lately married son-in-law's, Sir Thomas Scott (age 25), to Scott's Hall. We took barge as far as Gravesend, Kent [Map], and thence by post to Rochester, Kent [Map], whence in coach and six horses to Scott's Hall; a right noble seat, uniformly built, with a handsome gallery. It stands in a park well stored, the land fat and good. We were exceedingly feasted by the young knight, and in his pretty chapel heard an excellent sermon by his chaplain. In the afternoon, preached the learned Sir Norton Knatchbull (who has a noble seat hard by, and a plantation of stately fir trees). In the churchyard of the parish church I measured an overgrown yew tree, that was eighteen of my paces in compass, out of some branches of which, torn off by the winds, were sawed divers goodly planks.
Pepy's Diary. 14 Jan 1664. Up and to the office, where all the morning, and at noon all of us, viz., [his father-in-law] Sir G. Carteret (age 54) and Sir W. Batten (age 63) at one end, and Mr. Coventry (age 36), Sir J. Minnes (age 64) and I (in the middle at the other end, being taught how to sit there all three by my sitting so much the backwarder) at the other end, to Sir G. Carteret's, and there dined well. Here I saw Mr. Scott (age 26), the bastard that married his youngest [his wife] daughter. Much pleasant talk at table, and then up and to the office, where we sat long upon our design of dividing the Controller's work into some of the rest of our hands for the better doing of it, but he would not yield to it, though the simple man knows in his heart that he do not do one part of it. So he taking upon him to do it all we rose, I vexed at the heart to see the King's service run after this manner, but it cannot be helped.
In or before 1665 [his father] Edward Scott and [his mother] Catherine Goring were married. She the daughter of [his grandfather] George Goring 1st Earl Norwich and [his grandmother] Mary Neville.
