"

Margaret was born in England, on March 28, 1616, likely migrating to the colonies with her parents.[citation needed] From the status of her future husband, it is most probable that they were a lower class family.[1] The first record of her in America is her marriage to Benjamin Scott in 1642. They had seven children, though only three survived to adulthood.[2] The town of Rowley granted Benjamin land in 1664. Shortly after, he was declared a freeman. A man by the same name (presumably the same man) was fined and "admonished" for theft. Benjamin died in 1671, leaving an estate of only 67 pounds and 17 shillings, which would have to support Margaret and her family for the rest of her life, as she never remarried. Consequently, she was reduced to begging.[1]
