Story

In 1780, after the Revolution his father moved with his family to New Brunswick. James Scovil was the only one of the children who remained in Waterbury. He was a prominent citizen of the town, a large land holder, acted as trial justice and was always known as Esquire Scovil.

During the war of 1812 he established, in company with others, a woolen factory on East Main Street. When peace was declared, and the markets again open to foreign goods, domestic manufactures could not compete with the foreign, and the owners of the factory retired from business with considerable loss. He inherited the homestead with land on the east end of the Green in Waterbury, and here he lived and had his shop, a store for general merchandise, near his house.

He was a man of fine appearance and much dignity of many. For many years he was warden of St. John's Church, Waterbury, where a tablet to his memory has been placed.

The above account has been taken from Dr. Henry Bronson's History of Waterbury. Dr. Bronson also says that Mrs. Scovil was a woman of superior character and endowments.
