• Notes

  from "History of Niagara County, NY with illustrations..." by New York Sanford & Company William Scott purchased from the Holland Company five hundred acies, located immediately at the Center, paying but a small advance, having the foresight to reserve his money for clearing and improving, which, it appears, was energetically done. He cleared for a crop sixty acres the first season. He early built a tavern, which was a popular resort. Prominently located, this house still remains, the private residence of William Scott's son, Homer, who remains at the place of his birth. The alarm of the burning of Lewiston in 1813, and the prevailing consternation, caused a general flight from this as well as adjoining neighborhoods. Mrs. Scott, to escape and save an infant child, rode on horseback, carrying it to Lima, Livingston county, in her arms. William Scott died October 16th, 1841, aged 59, his wife, Sophina, died April 4th, 1868, aged 77.
