1 Could this have been Thomas Scott, an adlicrent of the Pennsylvania jurisdiction, 

 arrested by John Connolly's posse and taken before Lord Dunmore at Redstone Old 

 Fort, in November 1774, just after the close of " Dunmore 's War ?" See Crumrine's 

 History of Washington County, 178. That Thomas Scott resided on Dunlap's Creek 

 near Redstone Old Fort, and on the organization of Washington County, Pennsyl- 

 vania, became the first prothonotary of the new county, and was its representative in 

 the First Congress of the United States.
