Seeking information about the parents of and probable immigration of a Walter SCOTT. When his first wife, Esther (surname unknown) died in Cecil Co., MD, Walter m. a Grace RUMSEY and had an additional family. Based on the Mormon IGI file Film No. 2034384, Walter and Esther were the parents of my John SCOTT, reportedly b. ca. 1695 in St. Steven's Parish, Cecil Co., MD, died ca. Oct 1760 in Rowan Co., NC. . There is a mention of my John SCOTT in Ramsey's "Carolina Cradle ...", p. 125. He is the head of Family 477 in the former SCOTT One-Name Study. He had, at least, a son named John SCOTT, b. ca. 1735 probably in VA or NC (who m. Agnes REED (ca. 1760) and died in 1811 in Livingston Co., KY); a son named James SCOTT, b. ca. 1737, and a daughter, Mary2 SCOTT, b. ca. 1738, who m. a John BURNET. We are reasonably sure our immigrant SCOTT ancestors were Scots-Irish and I strongly suspect he came into the U.S. through DE, MD or PA. We would certainly appreciate any assistance or clues and would be happy to exchange genealogical information with other SCOTT researchers. Please reply direct to: <bengantt@hal-pc.org>
