Page Number 4 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I think both my Grandparents are buried at Mt. Zion/High Rock Cemetery with the other family members, but I haven't been able to find the Cemetery in Daviess County, IN in Harrison Twp. It is located down by the White River back in the Sticks. The town of Waco, IN no longer exits. I have been unable to locate either parents of John B. Scott and Mary Hannah. I have been unable to find siblings or cousins. I cannot find John B. Scott being born in Kentucky and likewise for Mary Hannah being born in Pennslyvania. I cannot get no further on either line. I am hoping to find someone with a sibling or a cousin that connects to my line. I thought, maybe, some of the families in Dearborn, Ohio, and Switzerland Counties might be cousins. Below is my links to my on-line family tree and my webpage. I have [4] Scott lines. [1] My John B. Scott line [2] James Thomas Scott b. abt 1766 Pennslyvania [3 & 4] two Archibald Scott lines. One born around 1792 and another around 1892. Haven't been able to find connections between the [4] lines to get them connected.
