Cushing, Thomas, 1821
Pg. 457
SAMUEL SCOTT (deceased) was born in Robinson Twp., Allegheny Co. Since a short time before 1800 this family name has been connected with Robinson Twp. In 1795 the government granted to John Bayles 395 acres of land in Washington Co., Pa. (now Robinson Twp., Allegheny Co.), in consideration of 3 pounds and 5 shillings. This tract of land was purchased in 1800 for $2,500, by SAMUEL SCOTT, the original pioneer of the family, who emigrated to America at an early day. SAMUEL, a son of this pioneer, married SARAH HALL, and by her had three children. She dying, he married ELIZABETH McMILLEN, who bore him five children, viz.: BECKIE, SARAH, WILLIAM, JOSEPH and JAMES. SAMUEL, the eldest and second child, was born in 1812, and married ELIZABETH NICKEL, to whom were born four children: SARAH ANN and MARY JANE, deceased, and EVALINE and SAMUEL, still living. MRS. SCOTT died, and later SAMUEL SCOTT married, in 1852, ELIZABETH, daughter of SAMUEL and PRISCILLA (McFADDEN) PHILLIPS, and five children were born to them: LEANDER (deceased), PRISCILLA (at home), MRS. ELIZA JANE BELL, MRS. HANNA HADDEN and JOHN P. (living). MR. SCOTT was among the well-to-do farmers of Robinson Twp. He died in 1886. His widow, an estimable lady, resides with her son on the home farm. She is a member of the U. P. Church, of which he was an elder for twenty years. Politically he was a republican.
SAMUEL SCOTT, only living child of SAMUEL and ELIZABETH (NICHEL) SCOTT, was born in Robinson Twp. in 1851. He was educated at the public schools, and has followed farming all his life. He married, in 1878, AGNES YOUNG, and three children have been born to them: MANIE C. (deceased), WILLIAM HALL and HAYS BELL. MR. SCOTT now owns 186 acres of valuable farming land left him by his father. He is a member of the U. P. Church, and a republican.
