I used to live in Campbell County, Tenn next to Scott. Scott tried to leave Tennessee to be the independent state of Scott when the WBTS broke and Tennessee went with the South. I'm not sure when I'll be up there again for my in-laws, but the East Tennessee Historical Society in Knoxville would be probably the best place to start. Also that county does have an official County Historian and I believe they have an archives if my memory serves me right.
