Biography

Capt. William Scott served with Virginia Militia during the American Revolution.

Born to James Scott of Dinwiddie and Sarah Pegram, this looks like it is the plantation that William is said to be laid to rest.

His very Famous son did write a book besides being a General in the Army. it is said that William/Ann Mason Scott had 6 children.

NOTE: the rootsweb.com TREE gives 15 children...

Winfield Scott born June 13, 1786.[3] was born on Laurel Branch, the family plantation in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, near Petersburg, Virginia. He briefly attended the College of William and Mary, studied law in the office of a private attorney, and served as a Virginia militia cavalry corporal near Petersburg in 1807.

Elizabeth Winfield Scott b: 1767 in Laurel Branch, Dinwiddie, Virginia,

Research Notes

Even thought findagrave manager has no sources for the information we will put what they have and RESEARCH it further to find proof, place of birth: 1740 instead of 1749" "Petersburg, Petersburg City, Virginia" and removed "Dinwiddie, Dinwiddie, Virginia" and the middle name Robert.

THERE IS a "Sarah Funderburk" LINKED as a daughter but the Will does not name a daughter Sarah, there is a Susan, and I do not believe Sarah is a nickname for Susan??

It is 136 miles straight NORTH from Dinwiddie to Fauquier County..........
