Hi Scott, That was a well-done lookup request! There is nothing in the two books you asked for, though one is actually a hand-written manuscript. There were FIVE William Scotts in the area at the same time so it is impossible for me to determine if this pertains to YOUR William. Every book I checked had dozens of entries under William Scott and none mentioned any other family member. >From # 173 I believe this to be the William you are referring to only because of the ship and date. Meeting of 12 January, 1768. William Scott, 40 Mary Scott, 35 James Scott, 14 William Scott, 10 Robert Scott, 7 Ann Scott, 8 John Scott, 4 >From # 945 (The word "Bounty" on a grant indicates an immigrant) Grant Book 17. 278: BOUNTY. William Scott. 450 acres in the Fork between Broad & Saludy (sic) Rivers on a small branch of Indian Creek called Pattersons Creek. 13 May 1768. Plat certified 9 March 1768. Brent Holcomb notes "The actual grant volumes reside at the South Carolina Archives and History Center in Columbia."

I am looking for a land grant to William Scott. He and his family arrived in Charleston aboard the Snow James and Mary from Ireland in January of 1768, and was granted 450 acres of land under the headright system in Newberry Co., South Carolina. I am attempting to find a plat or information leading me to the exact area/parameters of this land. I found the books below listed at your site and would be greatly appreciative of any help you may be able to extend my way. 436.
