The will of Richard Scott is dated 12 july, 1556; in it he describes himself as, "of Barnes Hall, yeoman."—
My property to he divided among my children, except Ann, who already has had her filial portion—My sons Nicolas, john, William, Richard and Edward Scott, &o.—

From the Court rolls, I get the following notes :
1521—Richard Scott seeks to be admitted to land in Shiregreen, as son and heir of john Soott, deceased. —
1555, Feb. 20. Richard Scott surrenders the same to Edward Scott, his younger son ; with remainder to the proper heirs of the aforesaid Richard Scott.—
1604, Oct. 2. Edward Scott, having died since the last Court, Richard Scott seeks to be admitted to the same as proper heir of Richard Scott, deceased, being son & heir of Thomas Scott, deceased, who was son & heir of Nicholas Scott, deceased, who was son & heir of Richard Scott, deceased —
1638. Nov. 21. Inquisition post mortem of Richard Scott, of Barnes Hall, miles,—
that he has died seized of one Messuage or tenement and of two bovats in Nether Hartley, which descended to him on the death of Nicholas Scott his grandfather; and also 3 roods in a field there lately Parker's—
That the said Richard Scott died in the city of Dublin, in the realm of Ireland, about the month of August last past, and Barbara Banyster, relict of Henry Banyster, of the City of York, merchant, is his kinswoman and proper heir, being sister of his father Thomas Scott, and is aged 75 years and more.

The property of Barnes Hall came into the hands of this family by the will of Thomas Rotherham, ArchBishop of York, Ac, dated 6 August, 1498.

* "Goostly father" - Could this be the local priest? Ghost = spirit, so the meaning is perhaps "spiritual father".

St Alban's was a church in Wood Street, City of London. It was dedicated to Saint Alban. Of medieval origin, it was rebuilt in 1634, destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666, and rebuilt, this time to a Gothic design by Sir Christopher Wren. It was severely damaged by bombing during the Second World War, and the ruins cleared, leaving only the tower.

Notes on dates
John’s mother is mentioned in this will of 1569, but not in his brother’s will in 1573, so it is assumed she died in this interval.
There is no mention of children of Edmond, Thomas or Roger, but Edmond and Roger both had children, perhaps after 1569.

There is a crease down the centre and odd letters missing at the ends of lines so apologies for errors. A diccar, line 23, may be a dick or dick (these are also mentioned in the inventory) which the OED says is a leather apron used in the North by children or shoemakers, etc but it appears to say a "halfe diccar" which doean't seem to fit with that meaning.

line 13 dicker. In the OED I found this as a leather apron but Stuart A. Raymond in /Words from wills and other probate records 1580-1800 / pub.2004 says that a dicker is "the usual unit of exchange ie ten in dealing with hides and skins".
line 14 over leather is for making shoe uppers (Stuart Raymond)
line 16 clout leather is thick leather for patching.(Stuart Raymond)
line 26 Latten is an alloy of copper zinc, lead and tin similar to brass but weaker.(Stuart Raymond)
line 37 wort is unfermented beer and a lead is a large cauldron for the same.(Stuart Raymond)
line 40 bulting. The OED and Stuart Raymond only give a boulter, a line with fish hooks, but that seems unlikely here.
