Volume 1 of Clifton William Scott...is the rich heritage of a New England family. Fond remembrances of the author's parents are provided by family and friends. Brief family histories of eight branches of the family tree--Scott, Bradford, Taylor, Robinson, Williams, Porter, Shaw, and Ranney--are followed from the immigration of each patron ancestor during the great migration of 1620-1643 from England to either the Pilgrim's Plymouth Colony or the Puritan's Massachusetts Bay Colony, then to the Connecticut Valley towns, and finally to the Berkshire Hills towns of Buckland and Ashfield.
