Laurie, <<<I am researching the family of George Thomas Scott.  He was born May 1, 1852 in Illinois.  He was married to Melvina Andrews in 1875.  They had six children.  Three surviving infancy.  Orville, 1876; Harvey, 1886; Pruella 1879.>> What is the birthplace of George Thomas SCOTT? My Daniel SCOTT moved to White County, IL prior to 1820 census. I find his descendants in White, Hamilton, Saline and Gallatin Counties. If you don't know the county of birth, did they remain in IL and if so where have you found them on census records? George Thomas Scott would have been on the 1860 census. Darlene
