Thanks Joseph, Abby and Tim. I was doing a search last night on Lancaster and the search engine only brought the index up on the Scott file so am pleased to have this additional file to work with. I am trying to find connections between the Scotts in Lancaster, Chester and Cecil co. Who am I looking for? My ancestor was Hugh Scott. I have a primary record showing he was in Lancaster co. in 1726 and 1729. There are all sorts of things written about him that come from traditional stories that have been repeated so often they have been designated as the authority. It is written so often that Abraham b. 1677 is his son that it "has to be true"; but except for the Lancaster petition I do not find any records on Abraham. I have that he died after his son, Abraham, who is the Abraham in West Nottingham Chester co. It is also claimed that William Scott of Donegal was Hugh's son and a church history shows they did both attend Donegal church. William had a son also named Abraham who I believe was a Revolutionary officer. The Scott puzzle is little pieces of blue sky that must fit together somehow. I was hoping to get a few more pieces from these wills. Thanks again and a Happy Thanksgiving. Pat Sheldon
