I'm new to this news group but heavily involved in genealogy since 1974. In the past several months I have proved, finally, my Scott family back to g-g-g- grandfather William Scott ( c.1760-183--) One of his brothers', James Scott, has a long family line in Screven thru the current generation ( ironically, one of his descendants, Benjamin Franklin Scott, 111, died here in the past few weeks ( Jacksonville, Fl ) James was alledged, at one point, to have been a Rev War Vet but I believe William and another supposed brother, Josiah, were vets, from South Carolina service. William had over ten children by Elizabeth Rieves including my g-g- grandfather, James Franklin Scott ( b. 1815 Screven Co died April 7, 1870 Jackson County, Fla he was there c. 1841/42 His first known child, my g-g- grandfather Sam ( Samuel Francis Marion Scott ) was born there Dec. 5, 1842. Along with Jim was his brothers Jasper and Sherwood ( Sherod ) and at one time Homer and sister Rhoda. By 1860 sisters Mary Ann with her S/Co husband Joseph Cox and sister Sarah with her S/Co husband Ferdinand Weeks I am looking for data on William Scott's history/ancestry and descendants and especially history of the Rieves family, via Elizabeth's father Richard Glad to share my data rscott@leading.net fax 904-739-2370 Randy Scott Entertainment
