Dear list: I am looking for imformation on the family of James and Margaret Scott in the Galena vicinity. James Scott - father b. 1815 Ireland came to the Vingegar Hill area in 1835 Margaret Scott - mother (Bonson) b. 1820 Yorkshire England Children: Thomas Mary E Catherine E Robert James W Margaret A ALice J Elizabeth C Amelia Elmer Charles James occupation is listed as farmer on the 1850 census. He seems to have been illiterate. I have recieved quite a bit of information on Margaret Bonson and her family through various posters on the Joe Davies website. I can't thank them enough for their kindness. Would anyone happen to be related to any of these Scotts, or know anything at all about them? Any descendants still in the Galena/Dubuque area? I would be much obliged for any information offered. Thank you, Stephen Scott
