  Reference: "A Survey of the Scovils or Scovills in England and America," by Homer Worthington Brainard, Hartford, 1915, pg 159, 215.
  "He chose Elijah Ackley as his guardian in 1756 and must have been nearly of age at the
  time. He had no education and could not sign his name in 1764. A Benjamin Scovil, probably this one, served in the Second Regiment, Third Company, Major Joseph Spencer's from April 12 to Oct. 30, 1759, and again from April 1 to Nov. 1, 1760. On April 5, 1764, Benjamin Scovil of Salisbury, Connecticut, sold land near the meeting house in East Haddam, "being the wholf of that tract owned by said Scovil." The records at Salisbury reveal nothing whatever about him. Benjamin Scovil may have lived in Canaan, Connecticut. The Benjamin Scovil who received a soldier's bounty from the town of Canaan in 1779 is probably this Benjamin."
