WILLEM JANSEN SCHUTT, son of Jan Willems Schott of the Netherlands, arrived as a young man of nineteen on the ship Eagle in March 1663. . He and the other "Netherlander Scots" found the Hudson River and its tributaries, the mountains, trees, fields, and climate much like their former home. The rich land around Kingston (first called Wil twyck) attracted the early settlers. William married Margaret Jacobs, probably in New Utrecht, Long Island, NY, before moving on to Albany, then Marbletown, and finally Shawangunk (later renamed Wallkill) where he made his will 6 May, 1706, wri tten in Dutch but published also in English. (17) In the will he names his living children and his wife Grietji (Margaret), who survived him. In Dutch fashion, he signed his own name as Willem Jansen which is the patronymic for William son of John and named his first son Jan Willems (John son of William) for the boy's grandfather in Holland, thus establishing the lineage back through Holland to Scotland.

In Dutch Reformed Church records, all English names were given Dutch spelling. Scott is seen spelled Schot, Schut, Schott and Schutt. When English speaking became more prevalent, the surname reverted to Scott.
