    1. [SCOTT] re: Scott/Indian Trader
    2. I'm putting this into this discussion. I've been looking for years for my g-g grandmother who is supposed to have been Nancy Scott. Married ___Stovall, then John Zachary Bell somewhere in NE TX about 1856. He married #2 Martha Jane Scott supposed to have been Nancy's sister. Martha Jane moved to AR after John died in the war and supposedly died in Indian Territory. Nancy owned land in Titus Co. TX along Cypress Creek. John came into TX from Crockett Co., TN where he and his brother Joseph Henson moved from Spotsylvania Co., VA. Nancy was older than John---he was b. 1836. She died, I assume in childbirth, about 1858. They had one sone William Frank. Martha supposedly came to help with Frank and then married John. Now............ Family tradition says Nancy traveled by horseback along with a wagon train (stories say from TN and from The Carolinas) with gold sewn into her skirts. The family is supposed to have own an Indian trading post before they/she came into TX. If anyone exploring the Indian Trader information comes across this family, PLEEEEZE let me know. Lillie B.
