The Scott of virginia Family Crest

The arms we give are found on the book-plate of the illustrious Lieutenant General Winfield Scott, of Virginia, and are borne by many distinguished Scottish families, amongst which the Dukes of Buccleugh. The grandfather of the General was the emigrant, and came over after the battle of Culloden, in 1746, having taken sides with the young Pretender. His elder brother was slain on that same battlefield. The emigrant practised law in Virginia. His son, William, married a Miss Anna Mason, and died in 1791. General Winfield Scott was baptized Wingfield [a good Virginia name], but after the battle of Lundy's Lane his name is found spelled Winfield.
