| Homer Worthington Brainard. SCOVELL: A Survey of the Scovils or Scovills in England and America; Seven Hundred Years of History and Genealogy. (privately printed Hartford 1915 (250 copies) Springfield Printing & Binding Co.). |
The "Brainard" book funded by a grant from Frederick John Kingsbury, President of Scovill Manufacturing Company of Waterbury, Connecticut whose wife was Alathea Ruth Scovill. It primarily covers the descendants of John Scovel but traces Arthur's tree back to 1194 in England and discusses the probable origin of the name from the Village of Escoville which still exists in Normandy. The genealogy is quite accurate - a few misplaced individuals. Brainard was not afraid to say he didn't know something. Not all of the book's information is included here, due to space considerations. Homer Brainard was the grandson of Emily Scovill.
