By the 13th. century, Rudulf and Humfrey de Scoville are said to be shown to hold extensive lands in Wiltshire and Somersetshire, England, possibly remainders of lands granted to an ancestor at the time of the Norman conquest. The name of Scoville is included in the Hundred Rolls of 1273 and in the early Visitation of Somersetshire the above mentioned Humfrey de Scoville is shown to be "seized of the Manor of Brockley". A John de Scovil was a tenant of two virgates in Dorsetshire under Henry 11 (1154-1189). In later centuries a Richard Scovil, gent, in Dorsetshire in Dorset is listed in a will in 1641 and an Elizabeth Scoville is shown in 1644 the probate registry of Blanford, Dorset.
