These are my Scotts. I'm still trying to find out more about the Thomas A. Scott that wrote this document. He married Phoebe Drake and Phoebe was from Athens Ohio. There is a chance that this Thomas A. Scott also married Emily Clutter of Athens Ohio. Also that Emily may have had a previous marriage with a daughter Celestia who married S.B. Phillips. Thomas and Phoebe Scott definitely had a daughter Angeline who married Elijah Hodge and lived in Greenville, PA. Ira C. Scott is my ggrandfather and is the son of Thomas A. Scott. Thomas may also have had a daughter Elizabeth who was a Nurse and a daughter Marrietta. If anyone has seen Thomas and Phoebe or Thomas's parents Francis Scott and Elizabeth Axtell on a census anywhere please let me know. Please, I can't seem to find them. Ira was born in Pa in 1860 as shown on a Colorado 1900 census but I can't find him anywhere else. Thank-you Marsha Written by Thomas A. Scott Chillicothe Ohio Feb. 2,1900 William Scott, the first of the name that we have record of. Was born in Scotland in 1710. At the age of 23 years he went to Ireland where he remained some years. While there he married Catherine Denny.(Biographies of Patrick and Adam Calhoun indicate that their mother was Margaret �Peggy Calhoun or Calhoon, not Catherine Denny) In 1741( 1734 ) he emigrated to the Colonies landing at Philadelphia, settled for a time in Chester County Pa., afterward on the Susquehanna River, 6 miles below Harrisburg. Tradition states he later lost his life while ferrying passengers over the river, during a storm and was wrecked on a rock. He together with his passengers, a man and wife, were found huddled together on this rock frozen into an almost solid cake of ice. Isaac Friedline, of Athens County Ohio, told me that he was acquainted with the location, and that as late as 1852 it was called Scott�s Rock. Afterward a pier of the Pennsylvania Central Bridge was built upon this rock. At his death he left a family of a wife and seven children. Francis , the oldest, Robert, the second, and William, the third. His descendents still live in eastern Pennsylvania, This man William is said to have been an attorney at laws, also a judge a Harrisburg. James, the fourth son was my grandfather. We will refer to him farther on. Patrick Scott, the fifth son, settled, lived and died near New Wilmington, PA, was an Elder in the Neshannack Presbyterian Church. Adam, the sixth son, went south and is lost to view. There was on sister who married a Mr. Mc Combs. Now we will take up the history of James Scott. After serving through the war of 1754-1763 he went west. Married and settled on Mountains Run, (Montours Run)six miles west of Pittsburgh, on the south side of the river. After some years he moved across the Ohio River, and settled on the little Senickley(Sewickley). Here he spent his life. He was twice married, first to Jane Powers by whom he had three children, William, James and Jane. His second wife was Rachel Farbis by whom he had six sons and two daughters. His sons were Hugh Scott, married in Pennsylvania, afterward moved to Bristol, Morgan County, Ohio, eight miles east of Mc Connellsville, some of his grandchildren live there yet. Adam Scott spent all his live on Little Senickley(Sewickley). He was over eighty years at his death. Francis, the third son was my father. Fourth son, Arthur Scott, spent most of his life on Little Senickley. In his old age he went to live with his children in northeastern Missouri. Here he died. John S. spent his live near little Senickley. Robert, the sixth son, also owned a farm at the head of Little Senickley, near Fairmount Church. My Aunt Catherine married her cousin, James Scott, son of William Scott, the Judge. Aunt Margaret married Pacal L. Moore, who lived at Salem Ohio many ears, finally moved to Lyman County, Iowa.
