When did he marry and where is the last location you have recorded for him? I am also stumped on a Charles Augustus Scott - but this was in the early - mid 1800's and in northern NY. Let me know if this can connect in any way. We have been led to believe our Charles may have left CT or possibly MA or his parents may have come from either state. At the moment, I am baffled as who his parents are and where they came from.

Brooklyn Standard Union June 13, 1929 Courts LOSES DAMAGE SUIT FOR INJURIES WHEN BROKER’S CAR HIT Chauffeur Says He Gave Plaintiff Lift Without Employer’s Permission Riverhead, L. I. June 13.—A suit of $2,500 personal damages brought by Silvia CERRETA, of 111 Cooper street, Brooklyn, against Sherman B. JOOST, Wall street broker and Mayor of Quogue, L. I., was dismissed by County Judge George H. FURMAN yesterday. CERRETA had been given a lift in one of JOOST’s automobiles, driven by the JOOST chauffeur Martin FINLAY, April 4, 1928. The automobile hit a tree on the Montauk highway near Bay Shore and CERRETA suffered some bad cuts and bruises. But FINLAY testified today that he had no right giving ride in one of the JOOST cars without the permission of Mr. JOOST, and that he did not have such permission when he offered CERRETA the ride. On this ground the judge dismissed the case. Transcribed for http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/ (Brooklyn Info Pages) byMargaret Ransom
