8. William' /3 Scovil (John /2, John /1), born Sept. 7, 1703, at Waterbury, Connecticut; died March 5, 1755, in the Westbury parish of Waterbury, now Watertown; married first April 17, 1729, Hannah Richards, born June 26, 1702, at Waterbury; died April 1, 1741, at Westbury; daughter of John and Mary (Welton) Richards of Waterbury; married second June 16, 1742, at Stratford, Conn., Elizabeth Brown, born in New Haven, Conn.; died May 6, 1752, at Westbury; daughter of James and Elizabeth (Kirby) Brown of West Haven and Waterbury; married third Mrs. Desire (Sanford) Cooper, widow of Caleb Cooper of New Haven. Mrs. Desire Scovill married third Deacon Jonathan Guernsey and died Jan. 2, 1795, at Watertown, Connecticut.
William Scovill lived in a house built by his father and given to him by will in 1725. This was probably the house on Willow Street in Waterbury, long known as the old Johnson house, which was taken down in 1889, being at that time by far the oldest house in town. About 1733 he exchanged places with Abram Utter and removed to that part of Westbury known as Nova Scotia hill. William Scovill was a member of the Congregational Society of Westbury, founded in 1739, but he afterwards changed his views and be- came an Episcopalian. The exact date of his becoming such is not known ; he was not counted as a church- man in 1744 but his name occurs in a "rate bill" or tax list of churchmen in Waterbury in 1748. His second wife was a daughter of James Brown, the earliest known Episcopalian in Waterbury, and it was doubtless due to her that William Scovill and all his children became Episcopalians. The statement that he was one of the founders of Christ Church and parish in Watertown must be an error, since nothing was done toward the foundation of this parish until 1764, nine years after the death of Lieut. Scovill. He must have been connected with the mission parish of St. James, founded about 1744, which later became the present parish and Church of St. John at Waterbury, over which his son. Rev. James Scovill, presided as rector from 1759 to 1787.
William Scovill was commissioned lieutenant of the Westbury militia company in May, 1746.
