This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Scott, Taylor, Hall Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GeB.2ACI/957 Message Board Post: I need help in finding accurate information on the Lawson Scott family. I show Lawson as being listed on the 1850 mortality records as having been murdered on Sept.9,1849 in the Vienna area of Abbeville. I have not been able to validate the murder......also some Scott family members ( Of the Georgia Scott connection) have told me that the information they have indicates that Lawson was hung . Lawson's widow, Martha Patsy Taylor Scott marries a former hired hand named Savage Hall. She has two children with him. She is shown with him on the 1860 census. By the 1870 census Martha Patsy Taylor Scott Hall goes back to usuing her SCOTT last name. I have lost track of her at this point. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I would also be grateful for leads determining the actual parents of Lawson and Lemuel Scott. I thank you , Melody B. Scott
