In regards to Bob Foran's email. I have a Walter Scott who was born Oct 31, ca 1796 in the town of Moffatt, County of Dumfrieshire, Scotland. Walter was the 6th child of 10 children, 5 sons, 5 daughters. Parents: John and Margaret Innes Scott. Md Dec 28, 1756 in Sprymouth, Moray, Scotland His parents sent him to Edinburgh sometime during the years 1812-1818 to the university. Walter's mother's brother George sent for one of the boys to come to America. They sent Walter. This is all I have on Walter's parents.I have four out of the 7 children that Walter had in America. John Wm, Samuel, Emily, and Walter II. I haven't researched the Innes family in Scotland. There must have been quite an inner action between the two families. Ann
