Scott, Winfield 1786-1866
Military officer; born in Petersburg, Va., June 13, 1786; graduated at the College of William and Mary in 1804; was admitted to the bar in 1806, but entered the army as captain of artillery in 1808; became lieutenant-colonel of artillery in 1812, and adjutant-general, with the rank of colonel, in March, 1813.
He was among the prisoners captured at Queenston Heights, and sent to Quebec, with other prisoners of the regular army.
There the captives were all paroled excepting twenty-three, who were claimed as British subjects.
All the prisoners had been placed on a cartel-ship to be sent to Boston.
A party of British officers came on board, mustered the captives, and began separating from the rest those who, by their accent, were found to be Irishmen.
These they intended to send to England to be tried for treason.
Scott, who was below, hearing a commotion on deck, and informed of the cause, coming up, entered a vehement protest against the proceedings.
