This addition and division of land facilitated settlement in the outlying parts of the town. The settlement of the southeast section, known as Scotland, began about 1700-its first settler, Isaac Magoon, giving it the name of his native country. Mr. Magoon was admitted an inhabitant of Windham in 1698, and chose to establish himself east of Merrick's Brook, in a remote and uninhabited part of the town. An early Norwich land-owner is believed to have given his name to this brook. In 1700, Mr. Magoon purchased of Mr. Whiting several hundred acres in the southern extremity of Clark and Buckingham's tract. The first rude hut built by him in this locality is said to have been destroyed by fire, and a second built for him by the aid of his Windham neighbors. Sixty acres, on both sides Merrick's Brook, through which passed "the road to the Quinebaug Plantation"-afterwards Plainfield-was also bought by him of Joshua Ripley, and was probably made his homestead. This road to the Quinebaug Plantations also led on to Providence and became the great thoroughfare of travel between that township, Windham, Norwich and Hartford. The facilities this afforded, good land and a pleasant location, soon attracted other settlers to Merrick's Brook. In 1701, Magoon sold farms to Samuel Palmer, John Ormsbee, and Daniel and Nathaniel Fuller, all of Rehoboth. In 1702, Josiah Kingsley, John Waldo, Nathaniel Rudd, Josiah Palmer and Ralph Wheelock purchased land of Crane and Whiting, and removed to this new settlement. Waldo's land, in the south of this tract, is still held by his descendants. Many Mohegans frequented this part of the town, clinging to it by virtue of Owaneco's claim to it as Mamosqueage. A hut, on the high hills near Waldo's, was long the residence of the Mooch family-kindred of Uncas and the royal line of the Mohegans.
