Governor Henry Scott of Quebec.
Henry Scott was the Governor of Quebec in the late 1830s. He may have been the last Governor of Quebec under the original Britannic Design.
Scott was serving as Governor of Quebec during the 1839 uprising by Louis Papineau's Patriotes. Papineau attacked the capital of Quebec City on 21 September with a force of 3,800 men. However, Scott had received warning of the approach of Papineau's army, and he was waiting inside the city's main gates with a well-armed militia force. Papineau's army was driven off with heavy casualties, and Papineau himself was killed.
Henry Scott has no entry in Sobel's index.
