    3. Hi Rick: Well, if you almost fell off your chair, you should have seen the double take I did when I opened your email ! More than happy to share what little information I have. MARY JANE HUNTER b. July 29, 1827 PA . d. Sept. 4, 1902 Ogden, Weber Co., Utah. Married JAMES WESLEY SCOTT March 13, 1847. They were married in Philadelphia. I don't know if this is the city of Philadelphia or the County. Both were to have been from Bucks Co. PA. ( Some of this info is from family bible) MARY JANE HUNTER, parents: JOHN HUNTER b. PA (no date) MARY ELIZABETH VAN ZANT b. PA ( no date) The Scott family that Mary Jane married into had been in Bucks Co, ( Bensalem, Middletown ) and also Montgomery Co. and perhaps even Chester Co, from the birth of a John Scott in 1653. ( I even have a reference to just So. East PA. for one Scott....) so, geographically you are looking at, Chester, Bucks, Montgomery Co., and Philadelphia Co. I offer the Scott connection, only because it may also be a way to track the Van Zant name. Since I just received the Van Zant name I haven't had time to even decide how I would pursue it.... When I read it yesterday, I vaguely recall it in some information I went through on cemetery records in Bensalem, on the Bucks Co. PA roots link, several weeks ago. I need to go back and see if I can find it again. Will let you know. Great to hear from you ! Do hope this is of help... keep me posted. SANDI CA [email protected]
