General Notes: Husband - Joseph Scott

---

He was born in the eastern part Pennsylvania, and was of Scotch descent. He was one of the early settlers of Washington County, and died there aged ninety-six years. He was a farmer. Both he and his wife were members of the Cross Roads Presbyterian church.

He was born in Scotland, coming to America during the latter part of the eighteenth century. He first located in York County, Pennsylvania, where he married. Prior to 1788, when Washington County was sparsely settled, he came from York County, and made a home in the eastern part of Hanover township, near Raccoon creek, securing control of an immense tract of wild land. A cabin was erected which furnished them protection, and although deprived of many of the luxuries of life, they were soon able to build a comfortable home. Industry was rewarded and they became wealthy and highly-respected citizens, and passed the remainder of their lives surrounded by children and friends. They died at a ripe old age, in full connection with the "Old-School Presbyterian" Church, in which they had been reared from infancy. Politically he was a Democrat. To them were born two sons and three daughters, all of whom lived to an adult age. [CBRWC, 1458]
