| John
and Agnis Scott were Scots-Irish by origin and probably came to Boston
from Northern Ireland in the early 1700's. They are known to have
been living in Brookfield, MA in the 1730's, in Westfield, MA in the 1740's,
and in Blandford, MA in the 1750's. Blandford was a largely Scots-Irish
community, originally known as Glasgow. John Scott was chosen as
constable and hog reeve there in 1752. |
