"HUGH SCOTT, the Patriarch. is to me like Melchisedec. without father or mother; — I presume the Great Spirit must have made him.
He came to this country as tradition saith. from the North of Ireland, and settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania,
in the latter part of the 17th century, probably about two hundred years ago. He was a Presbyterian, of the Scotch- Irish, John Knox type,
who loved liberty, civil and religious, feared nothing but God, and whose name, if not found in the books of this world's
heraldry, is plainly inscribed, I trust, in the heavenly register among the sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty. Let us venerate
the memory of this Father of our Tribe.
"ABRAM SCOTT, son of Hugh Scott, was born about A. D. 1677, in Chester County, Pennsylvania. He died about 1760. He was a
worthy God-fearing Presbyterian. He left two sons, Hugh and Josiah, and probably others; and some daughters whose names and
history are not known to the writer here-of. Of these two sons Hugh was the elder by at least four years, and lived and died in
Washington County, Pennsylvania, near Claysville, at an advanced age. He left a numerous posterity who are scattered throughout
the Central and Western states.
"JOSIAH SCOTT, son of Abram, son of Hugh, was born in Chester County, Pa., in 1735. He learned the trade of a blacksmith; was
married to Violet Foster, about 17()(); s(^ttled at Peach Bottom. Pa., where he lived till about 1773; removed to Washington County. Pa,
, near Washington, — then called Cattish. — where he worked at his trade and farmed till old age. and died in 1819, aged 84 years.
He was long an elder in the Presbyterian Church at Washington, and was highly respected for his many vir-
tues. He was robust, stout, and muscular: was the best and most rapid reaper of his day; was of vigorous constitution: plain and
simple in his habits and manners, and noted for his excellent sense and sound judgment. Rev. Dr. Brown. President of Jefferson
College used to say that "the Scotts got all their talent and ability from Old Josiah. "
"I had various letters from Judge Scott in relation to the publication of such matters of History as might be supposed to be of interest
and value to the Family. And on February 26th. 1877, he wrote;
'"Cousin John: I drop you a line merely to express my gratification that you have undertaken the history of the "Scott Family.' I have
contemplated this matter for a long time but am too old to undertake it now. and rejoice that the task is in such suit
able hands."
McGuinness and Scott Families
PREFATORY NOTES.
"In the autumn of the year 1888, during a visit at the home of my grandfather, the late Samuel W. McGinness, of Allegheny, Pa., I
was called upon by him to assist in compiling genealogical notes of his
family, both on the paternal and maternal side. As he was then the oldest living member of both families — gifted with a remarkable
memory, and having a personal knowledge of many persons and places herein mentioned — he was urged by many friends to produce a
brief history of the McGinness and Scott families, for the benefit of those
now living, and for future generations. Impelled by these considerations, and having leisure time, as he had then retired from
active business, he decided to attempt the work, providing I would assist him with the writing.
"We at once embarked in the undertaking, and began collecting material and records necessary for the work, engaging in it at such
times as Grandpa's health permitted. As the work progressed, it became evident that the family connection was more extensive than
we had at first anticipated, which, had we known in the beginning, would have
made us hesitate to undertake so great a task, as it has
involved an extensive correspondence, necessarily consuming much time and labor.
"In the midst of our work we were compelled to lay it aside, owing to Grandpa's sickness, which, after months of enfeebled health,
finally terminated his life."
