remnant of his company were buried December 1760. Born in Madison,
Connecticut, Feb. 19th, 1717, he received his Commission from King

from Ticonderoga, he and many of his company were stricken with smallpox, died and were buried on this spot. He was a man of Patriotism
and enterprise and his death deemed a public loss.
Erected by a decendant who honors his memory - 1922.
There is also a memorial stone for Capt. Scranton in the West Cemetery, Madison, New Haven, Connecticut, Memorial # 11336095, so it is not clear where he is actually buried.
