"Matthew Scoby, third son and fifth child of John and Mary (Scoby) McCurdy, was
born in Dunbarton, November 23, 1766, and died March 23, 1850. In 1790 he was chosen deacon of the church in Dunbarton and was noted for his piety. No food was allowed to be cooked in his house on Sunday, and it is related that on one occasion, having lost his reckoning, he hauled a load of grist to the mill, but upon learning his mistake he returned home with his load, preferring to make an extra trip to the mill rather than leave it there on the Lord's day. He was quite prominent in public affairs and between the years 1791 and 1808 he served six terms as a selectman. He was the father of ten children, namely: Peggy, Daniel, Martha, John, James, Mary, Robert, Elizabeth, Mary Ann and Matthew."
