Looking to share info on this family, also Josselyns and Hamiltons... thanks, Martha Hamilton Scott 1. HUGH4 SCOTT (HUGH3, ABRAHAM2, HUGH1) was born August 07, 1763 in Washington County, PA, and died April 17, 1849 in Newark, Licking County, OH. He married JANE LATTA 1786 in Westmoreland County, PA, daughter of WILLIAM LATTA and SARAH. She was born February 19, 1766 in Bucks County, PA, and died January 22, 1839 in Newark, Licking County, OH. Notes for HUGH SCOTT: Hugh Scott, Jr. (1763-1849), served in Capt. John Wall's company, Washington County, Pennsylvania militia, 2nd battalion, 1782 from John R Scotts book, 1984: Hugh Scott removed from Washington County, PA to Licking County, OH in the fall of 1811. Here he settled on a farm of 240 acres, 7 miles south of Newark. He built a two story log house which is still standing (August 1894) though abandoned as a dwelling. He is described as a "staunch Whig, an unflinching abolitionist, and a Calvinistic Presbyterian. He was one of the ruling elders of the First Presbyterian Church of Newark. He was a successful farmer and is said to have had the finest farm in Licking County. In 1826, his son Abram records: "a very fine and extensive iron ore bank was discovered on my father's farm, which promised a new impulse to business. The bank was opened, and my father continued to carry on the business in connection with farming, which required all the help he could muster." More About HUGH SCOTT: Burial: Lutheran Graveyard, a mile beyond the Scott farm, Newark, OH Notes for JANE LATTA: from the John Scott book, 1894: Jane Latta was described by her son Abraham, in 1836, as having great strength of character. "She was a woman of more than ordinary daring and perserverance, for though raised amid the refinements and luxuries of an eastern life, she found no difficulty in accomodating herself to the homely etiquette of backwoods gentry, and the rustic appearance of a log cabin."
