It was found in digging not my writing... I have quite an interest in Captain Scott and own a biography by Reginald Pound, published in 1966. Certain family information, including various names which may be useful, is given, as follows: "No ancestor of Captain Scott has been traced with certainty beyond the third generation, all Devonshire born. In 1780, Robert Scott arrived from France to set up as a schoolmaster at Holbeton, a village of placid charm a few miles south-east of Plymouth.........The Holbeton schoolmaster had four sons, Robert being the eldest......this Robert Scott had eight children. The youngest, John, born 1830, married Plymouth-born Hannah Cuming when he was 31. She was 21, daughter of William Bennett Cuming, one of 80 surveyors then employed by Lloyd's underwriters in the ports of the UK. Both Scott parents died the following year, 1863. There were ructions about Robert Scott's will. One of his sons, General Edwin Luddington Scott persuaded two of his sisters, Mrs Preston and Mrs Harford, to join him in a lawsuit to possess the family home Outlands. William Cuming came to the rescue, settling the property on his daughter Hannah (Captain Scott's mother). John and Hannah Scott had four girls and two boys, Robert Falcon being the third child and eldest son. .... Kathleen Bruce [Scott's wife] was the daughter of the Rev Lloyd Bruce, rector of Carlton-in-Lindrick, Nottinghamshire, and Canon of York. She was the youngest of the family of eleven....Her maternal grandmother was Greek; her mother the grand-daughter of James Skene of Rubislaw. She lost her parents before she was sixteen and was taken into the Edinburgh home of her grand-uncle, William Forbes Skene, historiographer of Scotland." Regards, Mark Jones This list is adoptable.
