General Notes: Husband - William Scott

---

He was born in Scotland in the latter part of the seventeenth century, the exact date being not known. On account of his loyalty to the principles of the "Church of Scotland," and bitter opposition to popery, he, with many other families of Covenanter sympathies, in order to enjoy peace and safety, was compelled to leave his native land and find a home elsewhere. He accordingly went to the North of Ireland, County Derry. There he laid out a deer park and salmon fishery, as he was a man of considerable wealth.
