• Biography. ⁵¹⁶ Jane "Holget" is listed among those who took the oath of
allegiance at Missiskoui Bay between 1797 and 1798. Her entry
is dated 31 March 1798, and in addition to herself and her
husband there was a female below the age of 14; they had come
from Vermont and were looking to settle in Clifton, Quebec
[PAC, R.G. 1, L 3 L, Vol 206, Reel C-2869, pp.96333-96337].This
would probably be the same land that was granted her father,
Walter Scott. A later document located within the files of Leon
Lalanne dated 12 March 1822 appears to also deal with this lot
of land. Evidentally, Jane's second husband and her widower,
Thomas Mansfield, of Georgia, Vermont sold Lots 6 and 7 in
Clifton's 1st Range, amounting to 200 acres to Samuel Holgate
of Milton, Vermont for $200. On 3 January 1826 Harvey Holgate,
attorney for Theophilus Mansfield swore that he had signed the
deed of conveyance voluntarily. This same record was deposited
with the Town Clerk at Swanton, Vermont on 13 March 1822 [Vol
8, page 210 as noted by Lalanne's copy]. On the very bottom of
the last page is written "within land belonging to the original
note of Water Scoat..". At this point (1990) it is not known
what relationships both Samuel Holgate and Harvey Holgate had
with Jane Scott.

Jane married Asa Holgate before 1797. (Asa Holgate was born in May 1767, died on 5 May 1799 in Vermont and was buried in Swanton, Franklin County, Vermont.)

Jane next married Theophilus Mansfield about 1802 in Vermont. (Theophilus Mansfield was born on 27 Aug 1776 in Tyringham, Berkshire, MA and died on 25 Mar 1865 in Enosburgh, Franklin County, Vermont.)
