"He commenced his services as a Captain; enlisted a company of Dragoons in the county of Prince Edward & the adjacent counties in said state of Virginia and marched them through North & South Carolina into the state of Georgia, where they were placed on the continental establisment. He continued in active service in the southern department; on the continental establisment. He contined in active service in the southern department; and about the year 1777, his Lieutenants, Walton at one time and Dickenson at another, enlisted additional recruits for him in the said county of Prince Edward, and marched them to the state of Georgia, where they were placed under his command. These recruits, when they were being enlisted, were well known as the recruits of the said Cap. Samuel Scott who was then in the southern army. As Captain he continued in the Georgia line on Continental establisment, until about the close of the year 1778, or early in the year 1779"
