Searching for the parents and siblings of Daniel SCOTT. His name could have been William Daniel Scott based on a marriage consent signed by his wife's mother, Rachael Lanham. On the consent it looks like the mother referred to him as Wm. Daniel Scott, even though William has never been listed in any other known document. Daniel was born ca 1792 in either South Carolina or North Carolina (listed both ways on census records). He married Rhoda "Rhodie" Lanham on 13 January 1814 in Ohio County, KY. Rhoda Lanham was the daughter of Richard and Rachel (Gates???) Lanham of Ohio County, KY. This couple was in White County, Illinois on the 1820 Census and remained in and around that county until their deaths after the 1870 Census. They lived in Hamilton and Gallatin Counties also. Children born of this union are: Elias Scott (Cordelia Hampton Douglass), Melinda (Smith Douglass), Lucinda (1. Nathan Gholson, 2. Thomas B. Yates); Mary "Polly" (James Shaw), John J. (Lucy J. Summers), Elizabeth (Coleman Miner) and Meander (1. Pricilla A. Mayberry, 2. Harriet Trissie Douglass, 3. Hannah C. Yates, 4. Lydia J. Coker Hammontree). There is one unknown son and it is believed his name was William Scott, who moved to Arkansas. I descend from Meander Scott whose given name could have been Cornelius Meander as he named his first son that name. I descend from his second wife Harriet Trissie Douglass and they are my great-great-grandparents. Their only child was William Sylvester Scott, my great-grandfather who was born in White County, Illinois. Any information pertaining to this family would certainly be appreciated. Darlene Shawn
