I am trying to determine if the John H Scott who married Susan Ann George in 1859 in Lincoln County TN is the same John H Harris who married Mary Ann Chesser in Lincoln County TN in 1851. John H Scott was the son of Wilson Scott and Altoney Harris. In the 1850 census he is in the household of Altoney and is age 19. On the annotated 1850 census, a wonderful resource, it states John married Susan George in 1859. However it goes on to say he died in 1859. That cannot be correct since he is in the 1870 Lincoln County census as Jno H Scott age 40 with wife Susan and children the oldest of which is age 9. John and Susan also appear in the 1880 Lincoln County census. I wonder if it was John's wife Mary Ann Chesser who died in 1859 and he remarried soon after her death. Any help much appreciated. Will share the info I have on the Wilson Scott family. Judy
