Scott

John Scott married Agnes Mills and one of their children a son Joseph (who later became a Sea Captain sailing the seas in great schooners).  Joseph through his many travels as a Sea Captain met and married a lady from Ireland her name - Ann Dupong .

One son of Joseph and Ann, Hugh Dupong Scott met and married Elizabeth Logan on June 8 1899 in Scotland. Hugh came to Canada in 1914 to build ships for the Canadian Government in the First World War. His wife and family emigrated to Canada at the close of the war in 1918.

Although many of us do not share the name Scott, we share the privilege of being part of the Scott clan. Traditionally, the family unit was the most important bond that drew people together. In the twentieth century, we have the ability to travel around the globe with relative ease; however, our ancestors generally lived and died in the same parish in which they were born, and likely the same parish in which their parents were born, and so on. It is that traditional geographic stability that makes the name Scott interesting and somewhat unique.

Throughout history their have been many uprisings in the world, but, let us go to the English - Scottish border in the County of Northumberland to a village called Berwick-on-Tweed. In the early years around 400 A D the Romans and the Scots battled over the land and the Scots were victorious.  Through the centuries there have been many battles for possession of this village and it changed hands many times from Scotland to England and vice versa as well as being defended by outside countries such as France and Spain.  In the end, England gained control of this land and proclaimed it to be a Royal Burgh.
