I also have Scott connections in this area. My gggrandfather listed MO as his birth place in the 1880 census. This is probably not right as this is the only one so listed. I think he was there and perhaps raised there, he was in the Californa Gold Rush in the 1850 census, Virginia City Nevada 1860 census where he had land deal with a man named Gould that sold his ( worthless) claims and sparked the Silver Boom in the Comstock. The Scott names that I am looking for in Illinois, Missouri and adjacent areas are Alexander, Russell, Andrew,Maria,Harry,Florence, Sarah or Sadie and Charles.
