Larry, First of all I want to thank you again for the info you gave me. I really appreciated receiving it. I did compare it with the info I received from a Scott cousin in Colorado and what I already had and here are the differences: John Parke Curtis Scott: 2 birthdates 24 Oct 1830 & 28 Oct 1831 Died 14 Aug 1902 Tombstone states date and aged 70 years 9 mos 16 days Mary Susannah White: 2 birthdates 9 Jan 1835 & 23 Jan 1833 2 death dates: 27 Apr 1875 & 17 Oct 1884 Tombstone states 18 Oct 1884 aged 51 years 9 mos There was another wife but she was still alive in 1902 when John died. Samuel Scott was NOT a twin to Elizabeth. The 1860 shows that Samuel was 2 years old and Elizabeth was 6 months old. Elizabeth died 18 Oct 1879. Tombstone states age 19 y 11 mos 12 d Malinda Catherine Scott had a 2nd husband Charles Metcalf (don't know fate of Otto Henry Lewis) Permelia Ellen died 10 Nov 1873 not 1875. Tombstone states age as 2 years 11 mos 1 d John Jefferson Scott has 2 birthdates: 20 Jun 1873 and 26 Jan 1876. His wife's first name was Betty. Samuel Isaac has 2 birthdates: 27 Apr 1875 and 28 Apr 1876. Wife's full name Elizabeth Hester White who died Nov 1948. Married second wife, Alice Beebe 16 Mar 1952. Death certificate for James william Scott states birth date as 25 Jan 1857. This is first place I have seen "Maude" Dellvina Simon. Have marriage and death certificates. Sarah Scott (James twin) was married to FRANK Osterhoudt (maybe was called "Jesse" as nickname). I plan to go to North Platte soon and get copies of the obits, marriage and probate records, if I can. Maybe that will clear up a few things. I sent a copy of your info to the Scott cousin in Colorado. He has been doing this for a lot longer time than I. I asked him what he used for "proofs" and I guess I am asking you the same. Hope this helps all of us. Take care and, as you said, stay in touch. Janet
