Donor Note: This quilt was handed down thru my family from the SCOTT line. It is quilted white on white and is signed by maker on back with the date 1776 also embroidered on it.
I have two stories - one is that it is made by the grandmother of my Rev. Ancestor Robert Scott. The other is that it is made by the grandmother of Gen. Winfield Scott. In either case this quilt came thru Sarah Scott Vastine (my ggg grandmother) to her daughter Catherine Elizabeth Vastine John (my gg grandmother). It has been told in her family that General Winfield Scott and Robert Scott were related. However I have not proven that at this time
