Margie, There was a Scott (given name unknown) who was a Creek trader at Hillabee, 1772. A Dick Scott, Cherokee, the son of Walter Scott, a white man, and a Choctaw woman. Dick was the brother of Margaret Ann "Peggy" Scott, wife of Chief James Van. In 1811, Dick had a son, Sam, eight years of age. George Scott, Chickasaw trader, 1766. John Scott, white man, born about 1782 (my ancestor). He married a Choctaw woman and brought his 3 children to Indian Territory in 1832. He held no property in Mississippi before removal so he could have been a trader or possibly a gambler. I have never found him after 1832, nor his other two sons, Washington & Morgan Scott. Thomas Scott, Creek trader at Hillabee, 1771. Walter Scott, white resident among the Cherokees.He was reported as being among the Cherokees in the late 1770s. Hope this helps and if by chance you are a descendant of John Scott, would like to hear from you.
