Memoranda Book of John Scott, 1772-1777
Chiefly describes agricultural activities, but does have some references to events during the period of the American Revolution, such as mentions of mustering with his battalion and seeing Men-of-War ships and transports coming up the [Potomac?] River, in July 1776. Some of the pages record the names of enslaved laborers with the farming activity, and also births, such as the birth of a boy to his "wench" Betty, July [4?], 1776.
