So, any ideas on who the wives of Obediah and Jesse Scott were - the ladies were deceased prior to 1850, as was Jesse Scott. I have the feeling that if the names ever turn up, they will be from a families that are part of this mirgration pattern from Surry to Monroe/Cumberland/Overton to Dade and Cooper MO. (Obediah migrated to Cooper County, with others from these areas, and lived there 15 or so yrs before coming to Dade)Nancy --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
