General Notes: Husband - Ebenezer Scroggs

---

He was given the best educational advantages that those early times afforded and was supplied with both lands and money by his father and was given a start in business. He married his cousin, Sarah Monteith, who had inherited considerable money from her father and a larger amount from a bachellor uncle who died in Scotland, leaving her as his sole heir. High living and extravagance quickly dissipated the most of their money. After his wife's death he and his children were cared for by his brothers and sister.
