Opps....................correction, it should be 1833, that MARY THOMAS died, so she would have been 86. Thanks kbhoy Lori, perhaps I am misreading some information. Would this mean that Mary Thomas his wife, was 142 years old when she died? Or did she die in 1783? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2007 1:49 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [PAGRE] PETER FOX PETER FOX, b. 1750-1755, Morris County, New Jersey. d. 1811, Greene County., Pa. m.

I am very interested in anything on the THOMAS name. However, either her birth date or death date is wrong. She could not have lived that long.

Several years ago I was sent an excerpt of a transcription of Reverend George Loar's notes on the marriage of Hannah Courtwright and Philip Wood. In his notes he states that Hannah Courtwright was half Cherokee and that her father was John Courtwright. He went on to state the correct spelling of John's last name. James F. Courtwright did (to the best of my knowledge) have a brother named John who did have a daughter named Hannah about the same age or a little younger that James' daughter Hannah. John moved his family to WV where he died in 1851. As I have found no evidence of them in WV after John's death it is conceivable that John Courtwright's family or some portion thereof returned to Greene County and that Hannah (Courtwright) Wood was John's daughter not James'. The 1860 census for Aleppo Township, Greene County shows a Nancy Courtwright age 12 living with Sabrina McCracken. This could be John's youngest daughter.

Hi... I don't have the first two children. It strikes me as odd anyhow that they would have two children named John a year apart -- odder things have happened, though. I have no record of anyone named John Durbin Scott in my files, nor a Fannie Scott who m. Oliver Perry. Everything else you sent squares with what I have. cheers, Gordon p.s. I just did a quick search online; I did find a John Durbin Scott s/o Robert and Mary (Sappington) Scott. This Robert's dates don't match the dates for the one who married Mary Roseberry. Of course, just at a glance I can't tell if the submitter has sources or is accurate, but there seems to be such a person out there. There were no hits for a Fannie (any spelling) Scott m. Oliver Perry. [email protected] wrote: >Maybe someone could help correct the folowing for me: >Robert Scott b. 1799 Greene Co., Pa. married Mary Roseberry b. 1797 Greene Co., Pa. >Children: >1.

She may have been, but if so, it's not recorded anywhere I've ever found. She has at least two descendants named Hamilton Scott, which is suggestive, but at the moment I have her as Catherine ___. In response to the other post on this thread, I also have heard the allegations of Hannah Courtwright's Native ancestry. My grandmother also claimed to her dying day to have Native blood. (I heard Mohawk, not Shawnee, but the tradition of the Scotts having Native ancestry has come down in several branches of the family.) Again, I have no hard evidence of it. Some have claimed that Catherine (maybe Hamilton) was pure Mohawk, but if so, there seems to be no record of it. Catherine's youngest daughter, Cassie (Scott) Stockdale, lived long enough to be in a census which recorded race, and she's shown as white. Of course, many people in the 19th century who had Native ancestry were eager to hide it, so it could be that she was "passing for white," as it used to be said -- but if she was half-Native, it's hard to imagine that everyone in the area wouldn't have known about it. Anyhow, that's my opinion. There's precious little documentation on this family, and (honestly) none prior to about 1790 -- so any speculation on the early history of this family, prior to their emigration to Greene County, is just that -- speculation. cheers, Gordon Bonnet Trumansburg NY Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
