    3. Looking for confirmation that the Jonas Scott, b 28 Oct 1773, Willington, Tolland, CT, son of John Scott and Mary Johnson, mar. 1754 Willington, is the same Jonas Scott that was in Pompey, Onondaga Co., NY in 1800, Manlius, Onondaga Co. in 1810, Dryden, Tompkins Co. in 1820 & 30 and North Norwich, Chenago Co. in 1840 & 50. Jonas was mar. to Polly Cook No marriage record in Willington for Jonas and Polly. In 1800 in Pompey there were 3 male Cooks in the census, so they might be related to Polly. In 1800 Pompey there was also a Thomas Scott and in 1810 Manlius there was also a Joseph Scott. In 1830 there was a Benjamin and John Scott in Manlius. In 1811 2 John Scott's died in Pompey, one born in 1750 and the other born in 1780. Do not know the relation of these other Scotts. John Scott and Mary Johnson had 11 children all born in Willington, CT. They were: Sarah, 1754, John, 1759, Elizabeth 1761, Joseph, 1763, Luther 1765, Samuel 1767, Susannah, 1769, James 1771, Jonas 1773, Jonathan 1733 (twins), and Zelotus 1776. (Barbour Collection of CT Town Vital Records) There were no Jonas Scotts in the CT censuses. Found in NY were 2 Jonas' , but the 1 in NYC was still in NYC in the next census whereas the Jonas that I'm working on was in Onondaga Co. I have found no other Jonas Scotts except the one above with a birth date that would have him be father of his first child in 1798. His known children are Jonas, 1798 and Olive 1800.
