Aaron Scott was born about 1720. He married Elizabeth Corse (1725-1773) of Deerfield on June 24, 1751, and they had four children who lived to adulthood. The Scotts lived in an area of Deerfield known as “Wisdom." In 1746, Aaron served in a company of militia under Captain Thomas Wells during King George's War (1744-1748), and in 1754 under Captain John Burke in the French and Indian War (1754-1763.) From 1754-1762, Aaron ran “Scott’s Ferry” across the Connecticut River. By 1776, he had met with hard times and on December 2, the town voted "That ye Select Men provide for Aaron Scott.” He died in 1811, in Northampton, Massachusetts.
