    "Benjamin Scott and his wife, Jane Gardner, settled in Suffield in 1746. They came from Roxboroughshire, Scotland], immediately after the Battle of Colloden in which Benjamin, his father, and his five brothers fought. One of these brothers was James, grandfather of General Winfield Scott, who settled in Virginia. Benjamin served in the French and Indian War (1755-57), also in the Revolutionary War in Captain Hanchett's Quebec expedition in 1775. Jane, born in 1751, was his youngest child and only daughter. His three sons were: William, born in 1744; Benjamin, born in 1748; and James, born in 1749 and died in 1753. The Boston Transcript, Apr. 21, 1931."
