Posted on: Hancock County, WV Query And Surname Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hancock/412 Surname: Scott, Allison, Ralston ------------------------- hi, spotted your note & had to let you know there was a John Scott or Scoot )as it was listed) on a land deed in April 1802 he purchased 100 acres of land on Kings creek from Joseph & wife Jean Ralston in Brooke Co land index of Grantors series I N-R. 1797-1848. I've always wondered who this John Scott was? Later on in Washington Co PA there is a listing on a Ann Allison who married a Andrew Ralston in 1850 census there.. Happy Trails in your searching, Kim Ralston Dresser
