Hi ! 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 >> There was a RIEVES/REEVES family in old Barnwell Dist, SC. Many, many families of that area crossed the Savannah to Screven Co. Try going to the ALLENDALE, SC GENWEB and look at the cemetery listing for SMYRNA Baptist Church. Most of these were transcribed as REEVES. Judy Canant Whooops, the history of Smyrna is at ALLENDALE: <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~scallend/smyrnamain.html">Smyrna Baptist Church Main Page</A> http://www.rootsweb.com/~scallend/smyrnamain.html But the cemetery listing was put on BARNWELL Co Genweb before Frank Clark began to manage the Allendale Genweb.
