~~ Arthur Scott ~~
========================================
Born in JAN 1752 in Cumberland County, Virginia. He also lived in Powhatan County, Virginia.
He married (1) Frances KERR (b.23 JAN 1758 Goochland Co., VA-d.bef. DEC 1813), daughter of John Kerr and Elizabeth Henderson, on 5 SEP 1773 in Goochland County, Virginia.
From the Virginia Pension Abstracts: "Arther Scott was born Jan. 1752 in Cumberland Co., Va. And while he resided there enlisted in the Spring of 1778, served as a Private in Capt.
Charles Flemings Va. Co. Marched north and joined the army under General Washington and was in the Battle of Monmouth, afterwards to Salem, North Carolina, then to Richmond, Va.
And discharged. Served one year. He moved then to Surry Co., N.C. in the spring of 1780, received a commission as Capt. of Militia, and that winter he commanded a company in Col. Joseph Williams regiment, was in skirmishes at Cowans Ford, Shallow Ford, Whitesll's mill and in the battle of Guilford.
He returned to Surry Co., N.C. served as Capt. Three months Col. James Martins Regt. He stated that his commission as Captain burned in the house in Surry, N.C.
He resided there until 1807 when he moved to Wythe Co., Va. Stayed there until 1812 then moved to Knox Co., Ten.
He was allowed pension on application executed Aug. 16, 1832 when he was resident of Knox Co.
Always signed his name Arther Scott. No reference to wife or children. Certificate #6185 issued Feb. 25, 1833, allowed $60 per annum commencing March 4, 1831 under the Act of June 7, 1832 Tenn.

He moved to Stokes County, North Carolina from 1795 to 1802. He moved back to Surry County from 1802 to 1807. He moved to Wythe County, Virginia from 1807 to 1813. I suspect that is where his wife Frances died.
On 11 DEC 1813 Arthur signed the following letter: "Mr. Granvill Henderson.
Sir,
My son John informed me that it is necessary that he should have power of attorney from me to transact the business necessary to procure title to the land which is due to the hiers of my son William Scott dec'd who enlisted in the regular service of the U.S. under Capt.

Dec. 11, 1813.
I am yours & etc.
