Person:Janet Scott (11)

James Thomson "married Janet Scott, a Scotch lassie who was over here on a visit to her brother, Robert Scott. She had promised her parents to return to them, and after she had promised her troth to James Thompson, she went back to Scotland to keep her promise 'wi the auld folk,' then crossed the ocean a third time to marry James. She was a woman of most energetic character; became a noted midwife, and her red cloak was often seen flying in the wind as she rode about the country on her errands of duty towards the sick."^[4]
