Betsy, I don't have a concrete answer for you but I've heard several times that families did indeed leave the deep south for Scott County because of post-war conditions. Some only to find it worse. I've heard that about my Hutcheson family who lived in Franklin County, Alabama before removing to Scott County. In a message dated 7/18/2010 1:10:41 P.M.

It interests me, because my GR GR Grandfather and many of his children moved from Walker Co. to Scott Co. in 1869. I have to wonder if they were acquainted. Gr.Gr.Grandfather was Benjamin Brown, who already had one son living in Scott Co. since the 1850's. Was there a land sale? or some special reason so many folks from E.Tennessee(the Browns) and GA went there? Any one know the history of that migration? Perhaps the post war conditions in N.GA were so bad? Thanks, Betsy Smith ----- Original Message ----- From: Thomas H.

I have never yet found a connection to your Payne ancestors. My line first came to Scott Cnty in 1870 from Walker County, GA(NW GA). I have heard of some of those Walker Cnty, GA Paynes going to TX following the Civil War, but never knew who they were. Do you have any thing on your ancestor Rosella Payne's line prior to her folks Henry Baldwin Payne and Lue Vicy Hale?
