Laurie My ancestor, Israel Scott, was in Vermillion Co., IL in 1845. Israel was b. 1824 in Ohio,and moved to IL. He married Sarah Jane Miller in 1845 in Newell Twp., Vermillion Co., IL. Between 1853/1860 they moved to Iowa. They later traveled to Oregon and were in Clackamas County, OR by 1868. They lived there until their deaths; Israel in 1897 and Sarah in 1896. I have no idea who Israel's parents or siblings were. Israel is my largest brick wall. However, I suspect he may have been a descendant of the Israel Scott who served in Rev. War for NJ. On census Israel put that his father was born in PA. Carol
