Good morning William! Thank you so much for your emails. I'm a bit "iffy" (I think), about this being the parents of Isabel Hewison Scott - only because, if Janet Scott was really only 50 when the 1841 census was taken, then that would have made her 12 yrs old when married in 1803 and 14 when Isabel was born. Now, we women have never been known to tell a little white lie about our age (!!) - David certainly would be the right age. Cheers!
