CAPTAIN ARTHUR SCOTT



   Arthur Scott applied for revolutionary pension while residing in Knox County,

Tennessee, in 1832. He was born in January, 1752, in Cumberland County,

Virginia, where he enlisted in the spring of 1778 in Captain Charles Fleming's

Virginia company. He joined the army under General Washington and was in the

battle of Monmouth. He afterwards went to Salem, North Carolina, and to

Richmond, Virginia, where he was discharged after one year's service. He then

moved to Surry County, North Carolina, and in the spring of 1780 he received a

commission as captain of militia; that winter he commanded a company in Colonel

Joseph Williams' regiment and was in skirmishes at Cowan's Ford, at the Shallow

Ford and Whitsall's Mill, and was in the battle of Guilford Courthouse. He

served as captain for three months and returned to Surry County. He resided

there until 1807 when he moved to Wythe County, Virginia, and from thence to

Knox County, Tenn.
