Phineas Scott, son of Capt. David & Esther (Belding) Scott, of Whately,
Mass. He m.
Rhoda Crafts, the dau. of Thomas Crafts (John1, Thomas2, John3, Lieut.
Griffin Crafts.

Phineas Scott was born March 13, 1756 and died April 1, 1844 aged 88 yrs.
She died April
3, 1846, aged 90 yrs. When the town was called upon for its quota of nine
men, on June

29, 1776, Phineas Scott was one of the volunteers for the service of his
country. The
state gave a bounty of £7, and the town a bounty of £6, to each volunteer;
the note given
to Mr. Scott for the £6 is yet extant. He was present at the surrender of
General Bur-
goyne, in the company of Captain John Kirkland and was in several shorter
campaigns. In
the winter of 1782, he moved from Whately, Mass. to Hawley, Mass., about 20
miles

distant. His brother, assisted with an ox team - and the snow was so deep
that they
had to leave the load in the road. Mrs. Scott and her child took refuge at
a farmhouse
while Mr. Scott went on to Hawley and rallied his friends - who turned out
with oxen and
shovels, and broke out the road, and then assisted to pull the sled, loaded
with all

their effects and with Mrs. Scott and her little one. When they arrived at
the little
log cabin, which he had prepared the fall before, they found that the great
fall of snow
had crushed in the roof. This was speedily repaired and they commenced
housekeeping.

The next summer he bought a cow, and the next spring a pair of steers - and
the following
year a horse and another cow. In the meantime he had made quite a clearing
and soon had
a fine farm under cultivation, and eventually ammassed a considerable
property. He was
an esteemed member of the town and the church, modest and retiring, ever
preferring
private life to public service. They lived together in wedlock about 68
years.

Their children and grandchildren settled at Hawley and have always been
among its solid
and reliable citizens. Their family records may be found in "Temple's
History of
