Hezekiah Scott

Scott, Hezekiah, (1789-1879), was a weaver and who operated a distillery on the brook near his home on Barlow Mountain Road — a stream later called Uncle Kiah’s Brook and now just Kiah’s Brook. He also operated a sawmill on Ledges Road on this brook, which is the outlet from Pierrepont Pond. He was a state representative in 1845. “Hezekiah Scott was a colorful figure in the community and he remembered and often related having voted in every administration from Madison to Hayes,” Silvio Bedini reported.
