 From Master Jacob Frisbie the farm in
 Bethlehem descended to Caroline Fris- bic, Capt Scouts mother. His father was Stephen Scott of Watertown, who mar ried Caroline Frisbie and came on this farm to live. It appears he was tailor by trade, but took up the occupation of farming. Capt Scott, the subject of this skeach, vas married in 1850, to Emeline Young, who was brought up on the shores of Lake Chautauqua. Her grand father was one of the men who escaped from the Deerfield massacre. In his prime and young manhood the Captain did much work in his saw mill, and he has made the remark that he has carried half of Hotchkissville on his back, the lumber for many of the houses coming from his mill. For years also he made business of making boxes for such firms as the American Shear Co.,, the Union Woolen Co.,, and. the American Knife Co. When a young man the captain worked for 101 years or so for Harmon Baldwin in his] mill at Washington, and travelled about the country setting up clover machines, which were made by Bald win.
