This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: SCOTT, BENNETT, NEAL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DWB.2ACE/103.1.1 Message Board Post: YES! I believe we are looking at the same Lewis Scott. I had since found the marriage of Lewis SCOTT and Mahala BENNETT in 1836 in Union County and believe this is my Lewis Scott. Lewis SCOTT married his second wife Sarah NEAL in Hardin County in 1846, so Mahala would have died by then. I have wondered if perhaps she died in childbirth. Based on these dates, I believe Lewis' first three children (Sterling, Philander, Amanda) to be Mahala's. How do you descend? And, can you tell me where I can find the estate record of Mahala's father? Another tidbit: I have seen postings on the Internet that an Ira BENNETT married Elizabeth Betsey SCOTT in 1829 Union County. Do you know if Ira and Mahala are related? Elizabeth Betsey SCOTT may be the sister of Lewis SCOTT. Please email me directly: bonniekane@netzero.net Thanks for getting in touch!
