I need help. I am working from a handwritten pedigree constructed on family records and oral history; what I have been able to find has been correct, but now I'm at a dead end. To confuse things even more, there are Scotts on both sides of the pedigree. My head is spinning. James Scott (Oct. 19, 1776) was born in Sunderland MA; he married Achsah Dickenson (or Dickinson), who was born in 1777, place not known. Their fourth daughter, also Achsah, born in 1806, possibly in NH, married Roswell Nichols of Charleton MA on Jan 16, 1831. Other children of James Scott and Achsah Dickenson were: Jerusha, 1800; Bathsheba, 1802; Sarah, 1804; Achsah, 1806; James, 1808; Consider, 1810; Erastus, 1812; Samuel 1814; Tryphena, 1816; and Horace, 1819. My question is: Who is James? And only because I think it is interesting: Roswell and Achsah Scott Nichols lived in Charlemont for three years before moving to Northfield Ohio. They lived there for 10 years, then packed their worldly possessions, two children - and Achsah's mother - onto a sailboat, and moved to Isle St. George in Lake Erie, where they were the sole residents for the next 5 years. The island was then developed by wine-makers. Any help in finding James' parents would be greatly appreciated.
