Jack: I am also researaching the SCOTT line in Williamson County. My Great-Great Grandfather was John W. Scott, who lived in Williamson County between 1825 and 1860. It is believed that his father was named James B. Scott, but it is unconfirmed as of now. It is known that John W. Scott was born in May 1819 in Virginia and married Pauline J. (Polly) Whitby in 1848 in WIlliamson County. I will further research your John Scott & James Scott to see if there is a connection. Will send further info in a couple of days for you.
