This collection of papers reflects Scofield's participation in these several areas. They contain accounts, receipts, and letters relating to his mercantile activity; his commission as Captain in the Ohio Militia and numerous military orders, rosters, and receipts; several legal documents involve Scofield either as a judge in the Court of Common Pleas or as a purchaser and/or surveyor of Ohio lands. Scofield was also a commissioner of the Bank of Chillicothe. Several letters in the collection concern the bank's business. Also included are three miscellaneous papers generated from Ohio: an 1815 Lancaster, Ohio, lottery ticket; a list of 4th of July celebration toasts, and an 1842 receipt of a land purchase in Huron County, Ohio.
