    3. On the index for Jefferson Co AL marriages downloaded from ALGENWEB, April 06, 1998, there is no William Scott. The Scott grooms are Claiborn G, 1833; David, 1847; James O, 1855; and Samuel S, 1858. There are 6 Scott brides, between 1818 and 1855. --- MGolden603@aol.com wrote: > I would like to find another individual who may know > something about my > GGGrandad William A.
