  "He was the eldest son and of age when his father died in 1756. He had no advantages of education, and signed a deed with his mark at this time. May 13, 1757, he sold to Alexander Rollo for 34 Pounds a part of a home lot that belonged to his "honored father, Edward Scovel, late of East Haddam, deceased, with a mantion house standing on it.
  "The rolls of the Connecticut men who served in the French and Indian War show that in 1757 he belonged to the south (Capt. Cone's) militia company in Millington parish, and was detached for service, place not stated. In the next year he served from March 30 to October 30, 1758, in the Second Regiment, Major Spencer's, and was corporal.
  "Soon after this he removed from East Haddam to Hartland, Connecticut, and then a new settlement. He was one of those who petitioned Sept. 25, 1760, that Hartland might be given town privileges, and was one of twenty men then settled there. Mrs. Scovil was admitted to the Congregational church at Hartland June 12, 1779. All her children were baptized there Aug 27, 1783, except Esther who was baptised October 2, 1785.
  "Micah Scovil may have been the "Michael" Scovil who served in the Revolution from Hartland, but this is more likely to have been Micah, Jr. They lived near the Massachusetts line, and in the census of 1790 he or his son Micah was included in the town of Granville, MA. About 1802 the whole family removed to Ontario County, NY (Richmond), and afterwards to Trumbull County, OH."
