    3. Hello Scott List. I am a new subscriber and would like to add my SCOTT family. SCOTT, George b. 18 March 1813 in Louth, Lincolnshire,England,a miller by trade (George was my gr. grandfather) Wife: RASPIN, Ånn b. ca. 1815 Louth, Lincs. Eng. Children: Charles b. 1842, Louth, Lincs.Eng. George b. 1843 Louth, Lincs. Eng.(died in 1852) Henry b. 1844 Louth, Lincs. Eng. Brooklina b.1849,Brooklyn, N.Y.(some discrepancy asto birth date) Georgiana b. 1850 Albany, N.Y. USA. Father: John Scott of Louth, Lincs. Eng. & Worksop, Nottingham, Eng. Mother: Sarah ? Brother: Thomas SCOTT b ca.1828 Worksop, Notts.Eng.was in Owen Sond, Ont.Canada in 1853. Possibly one or two other brothers also in Canada around Port Hope,Ont. names unknown. George Scott and family came to Savannah, Georgia in 1847 aboard the "Sarah Sands". Two children died at sea. Oral family tradition says that George was an Overseer on a cotton plantation near Savannah but refused to beat the slaves so was dismissed. He was in Brooklyn, N.Y. as a miller in the Directory of l850. His daughter Brooklina (and my Grandmother) was born in Brooklyn, hence her name. Georlgiana was born in Albany, apparently on their way to Canada. They lived in Peru on Lake Champlain for a time and Charles & Henry reputedly went to school there. They came to Canada in 1852-1853 and George's wife, Ann(e) RASPIN died in 1853 in Vittoria, Ont. near London, Ont. Canada. The family then came to Melville, Caledon West Township, Peel County, Ont. Ca. and bought a mill in 1857. George died in 1896. I speculate that Goerge had a fmily conection in Savannah , otherwise he wouldn't have come to the USA, with such a small family, on his own. Any information or connection either in England or Georgia would be greatly appreciated. Also, any information on George's father, John SCOTT would be most welsoe. Thank you Anne Stevens Newmarket, Ont. Canada.
