I got my nose buried in Thomas Fleming's Washington's Secret
War, about Valley Forge. Which pushed me to pull my notes on Thomas
Scott, and do more Revolutionary War research.
Thomas was in the Virginia 10th Regiment which, when they arrived at Valley Forge had 442 men, of which 5 were named Scott.
Cadwallider Scott
Drury Scott
John Scott
Reuben Scott
Thomas Scott
General Charles Scott was there commanding the Virginia 12th. During the year at Valley Forge Charles Scott was Washington’s “Intelligence Officer” who managed spies who were watching the British.
Later (in 1779) George Scott was on the Muster roll to serve R. Scott's time.
Earlier in 1777 there was a William Scott in an Independent company annexed to the 6th VA.
During 1779 the Muster rolls show Thomas and Drury Scott are on "furlough and supposed with Genl Scott at the Southward"
I think General Charles Scott was captured by the British in 1780 in the Carolinas.
Do any of these names fit with your family trees?
A few years later some of these names are on land claims on the Dicks River, General Charles Scott becomes leader in the Kentucky Militia and later Gov of KY. His Father-in-law was George M Bibb.

Benjamin Bibb (1706 – 1768) was the Grandfather of Benjamin
Bibb (1775 – 1821) who married Mary (Polly) Scott, the daughter of William
Scott, later of Trigg County, KY. This Benjamin Bibb (1706 – 1768) lived and
died in Louisa County, VA. One of my
records shows that Thomas Scott (my ancestor) enlisted in the 10th
Virginia in Louisa County, VA.
Please let me know if you have any puzzle pieces that fit :)
