Notes In Smith, John Jay, ed. Letters of Doctor Richard Hill and his children (Philadelphia, 1854), plate preceding p. 115.
Mrs. Scott was the fourth daughter of physician Richard Hill and of prominent Quaker lineage, belonging to the Hill, Lloyd, and Moore families of Philadelphia.
“Harriett married John Scott, and had one daughter, Mary, who died young, and a son, John -- called Jock in the letters -- who grew up and held an official appointment in India; he died about the same period with his widowed mother. She seems to have been an affectionate, timid, and sorrowful woman; her married life, entered upon without her father’s consent, was not entirely happy; her husband was much older than herself.”--P. xvii-xviii.
