I've discovered another Scott branch in America which is always exciting. In looking over my great grandfather William's obituary, I noticed he had a brother James in Medford, MA (1938.) James Richard Scott was the 7th child of Thomas and Sarah Scott. He was born 27 Oct 1875 in Little Bay East, Fortune Bay, Newfoundland, and married Phoebe Hannah Pittman on 30 Nov 1900 at Pool's Cove. Phoebe was born in 1880 at LBE. They had three children all born in LBE.
James Scott and his family arrived in the U.S. around 1914/1915 and there is record of them living in Medford (Ellsworth St.) from 1920-1940. His brother Andrew also lived in Medford (1938.) I have not located any further info past the 1940 census. The info. I have obtained on their children is as follows:
- Clarence Scott born 31 August 1901
- Ada Scott born 15 November 1904
- James Scott born 1913
Neal T. Buffett, born about 1930 and married Janet M Gerrish. They lived in Sunapee, N.H and Winter Harbor, ME.
Gerald James Buffett (1931-1989) was a sheet metal mechanic and former co-owner of B&J Auto Body Shop. He lived in Salem, MA, in the 1950s, then in Tampa, FL from the 1960s to his death in 1989. I believe his first wife and mother of his 3 children was named Margaret, but not totally sure. His second wife was Barbara. Gerald's children are recorded in his obituary as follows: a son, John, Washington, D.C.; two daughters, Patty Smith, Virginia Beach, Va., and Rowena Buffett, California.

James Scott was a fireman and didn't marry as far as I can tell. He lived in Medford, Mass
