      7. Some liberties have been taken with the few facts at our disposal. What we know for certain is that Scott did buy land and build a house at Canfield, to which he moved his family "soon after his appointment" (Hayden, p. 126), and that his first trial of the "Ancient Gospel" was outside the bounds of the Association (Baxter, p. 103). What could be more natural than a trip "home" to Steubenville at this time?
