Hello, Does any one know who the parents are of Benjamin Scott? Benjamin was born about 1844 in Arkansas. Benjamin Scott was married to Amanda ___?____" Amanda was born about 1848 in Tennessee? From the census it shows that Benjamin and Amanda had the following children: 1.) Edmund Scott, born about 1868 Cambell Township, Greene County, Missouri; 2.) Fanny Scott, born about April 1870 Cambell Township, Greene County, Missouri. And possible Nancy Boone, as she was living with Benjamin and Amanda Scott. Nancy Boone was born in 1851, Arkansas. Who is Nancy Boone? Was Nancy Boone, their daughter or daughter- in- law? Was Nancy, a friend of the family or a another family member? Any help would be appreciated. Best Regards, Kenneth Missouri City

John, I have long been interested in a Benjamin Scott of NC and GA. He was the guardian of the two youngest sons of Thomas Avera, Sr., Testator of 1761, Johnston Co NC. This Benjamin went to the Wilkes Co GA area not long after the War of Independence. He had large land holdings, he had Scott descendants as well as the two Avera boys. He was strong Methodist and some of his descendants were Methodist ministers. Now back in Johnston Co NC there were a group of Boones, Averas, Ingrams, Lees, and Scotts (Benjamin Scott's sister married a Poole, etc.) After the War of Independence representatives of these families migrated to TN and from there to AR, or to GA and from there to AL, and other points west, including AR. The timing of these migrations were varied and happened over many years. I have tracked one instance where the Lees, Ingrams, etc. Migrated to TN in two waves. The first to reach TN lived there a generation or so and then moved on the AR. The second bunch left a couple of generations later and did not stay long in TN and then went to Illinois. At the outbreak of the Civil War the AR bunch, who were pro Union, packed up and joined their Kinsmen in Illinois. I say this only to say that your Benjamin Scott might be a descendant of the Scotts in Johnston Co NC along with your mystery Boone. Sorry this is not more cogent but I am pressed for time. Does anything strike a bell. Franklin > -----Original Message----- > From: JOHN F.
