* Prince's George Co Heritage, Sidelights on the Early History of Prince George's, Maryland 1696-1800 by; Louise Joyer Heinton Pg. 94- On Oct 12, 1709 Dr. Mordecai Moore of Anne Arundel County gave to National Taylor, William Tannchill, William Hatton, James Beall, Alexander Beall, William Scott, William Thompson, and their successors half acre of land in the Southwest corner of "Locust Thicket", lying on the south side of the Eastern Branch of the Potomic River, for the purpose of building a house for the worship of Almighty God. This deed give us the name of three men in Prince George's Co who were Presbyterians, William Hatton was a delegate to the General Assembly and also a justice of the Provincial Court. William Scott had served as both as overseer of the highways and constable in his hundred, while William Thompson, brother of Christopher Thompson, had also served as overseer in his hundred.
* pg 71- On May 28, 1731, William Scott had given to four men of the upper part of the parish and their heirs so long as it should be used as a chapel, one acre of land called "William Scott's Gift" for a Chapel, part of the tract 'William and Mary Increased" and there is a reference to the chapel in the vestry minutes as early as April 1735.
* In May 1744 an act was passed at the General Assembly to deem this a chapel of King George's Parish and to empower the justices of the county to levy the sum of f200 current money on the taxable inhabitants of the parish for building a chapel. The vestry entered into a contract with George Scott to build the Chapel, rail in the yard and cover the old chapel with clapboards. Pews were also built by Mr. Scott and sold to the parishioners. This chapel was known either as the Upper Chapel, the Eastern Branch Chapel or Mr Addison Chapel. The last is the name which has clung to it though the years, and today it is still known as Addison Chapel.
* William Scott was a elder of this Church "Stones and Bone" says this: "In about 1695 a company of Scottish Presbyterians under the pastorate of Rev. Nathaniel Taylor settled in Marlborough. In 1704, Col. Ninian Beall deeded one-half acre of land to 17 of his fellow Scotsmen for erecting a house of worship there. This was part of his tract "The Meddows".
