The record of the descendants of William and Amy Scott is fairly complete and with a little work and patience could be brought up to date; but we will not at this time take up their genealogy. Our present purpose is merely to preserve some traditions of that far away period.
Reason is I have a Great Great grandfather of William Augustus Scott and his father was William Scott. Attempting to find a connection of other Scoot’s in central NY if somehow all related.
