Looking for information on the SMITHS and SCOTTS in Laurens Co, SC during the early 1800's; in particular the parents of SAMUEL SCOTT, who was born 31 Mar 1808 in SC; and his wife RUTH SMITH (b. 25 Nov 1809 in SC). They were married on 10 Nov 1831. Samuel and Ruth moved to Pontotoc Co/Union Co, MS between 1848-1850. The 1880 Union Co, MS census gives his father's place of birth as Scotland and his mother's place of birth as Ireland. They were associated with the Brysons, Milams, Fullers, Guins, and Blakelys, who all were in Laurens Co, SC in the late 1700's to early 1800's. Is Samuel Scott the son of one of the following? 1790 Laurens Co, SC census: 1. Samuel Scott (2 wm over 16, 2 wm under 16, 4 wf) 2. Thomas Scott (1 wm over 16, 2 wm under 16, 3 wf) 3.

This post was of interest to me because of the migration pattern. My line is through the PITTS and DAVENPORTs. I have a Cicely DAVENPORT married to a Charles SCOTT in early 1800s. My line also moved from Laurens County to Pontotoc/Union/Lee County area of MS about 1861. Does anyone have any historical information on why these people of Laurens/Newberry County chose this area of MS to move to at this particular time? I know my branch was affiliated with the Pontotoc Pioneers Church in Poplar Springs, MS.
