Dear Owen County List, I'm working on the Alexander SCOTT family. Here is what I think I know so far (which isn't much.) I'd like to know if anyone has cemetery or post-1850 marriage records which could help. It seems possible, Alexander and Martha may be buried at Barnes Cemetery ...maybe. Alexander SCOTT was probably born between 1790 and 1795 in Ohio. He may have been the son of Arthur SCOTT of Monroe County, Ohio. Alexander married Martha BARNS before 1820. Martha was born about 1797 in Virginia. She was the daughter of Stephen BARNS. In 1820, Alexander is shown with his family living next door to Stephen BARNS in Jackson Township, Monroe County, Ohio. According to the 1884 History of Owen County, Alexander came to Owen County about 1823. “...Beverly VAUGHN and Cassius EDWARDS (very early settlers) came about the same time, and settled on land which was purchased in 1823 by Alexander SCOTT. The last named was a native of Ohio, and a resident of Franklin Township until 1843.” Probate index records indicate, Alexander died about 1843. These index records also name Arthur and Robert M. SCOTT as sons and heirs of Alexander. Children of Alexander SCOTT and Martha BARNS: i. Arthur SCOTT was born about 1820 in Ohio. ii. Stephen SCOTT was born about 1823 in Ohio (probably Monroe County.) He married Cynthia Philbert 06 September 1849 in Owen County, Indiana. Cynthia was born about 1827 in Indiana. iii. Robert M. SCOTT was born about 1824 in Indiana. iv. Ephraim SCOTT was born about 1828 in Indiana. v. Silas SCOTT was born about 1831 in Indiana. vi. Nancy SCOTT was born about 1833 in Indiana. vii. Alexander SCOTT was born about 1836 in Indiana. viii. George W. SCOTT was born about 1839 in Indiana. Any help, information or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!! Charlotte macslewin@aol.com
