William Scott Bible

This is the William Scott who was born in York County, PA March 25, 1765. When William was 6 his family moved to Virginia where he later married Margaret Fox.  They had 5 daughters.  The family then moved to Fayette County, KY, and then to Trigg County, KY.  He died in Trigg County, KY December 26, 1857. He could be related to my GGGGrandfather Thomas Scott and to the Samuel Scott who was one of the first settlers in Mercer County, KY.

  1. Would it be possible to have you post photo copies of the pages from the William Scott Bible? It would be nice to have access to those in order to look at some of the unintelligible parts...

  2. This is all I have on William Scott's Will. Someone sent me this extract, probably in the 1990's. I have never been able to prove or define the relationship of William and my 4 Great Grandfather Thomas who married Sarah Hamilton in Mercer County KY in 1798. They all go back to York County, PA. I'd like to discuss further with you.

  3. I've been working on the tree for William Scott over on geni.com

    Here's the link to William Scott:

    https://www.geni.com/people/William-Scott/6000000065551597957

    I was trying to incorporate all the information given in that Bible extract into the tree... I'm not a direct descendant, I'm connected via an in-law connection, but someone sent me the link to this page, and I was hoping to see the original document in hopes I could make out some of the missing parts - as well as confirm some of the transcriptions...

    My email address is "donaldcolvin" AT gmail.com if you'd rather communicate directly...

  4. Through the years of your research have you come across a Benjamin Scott b.abt 1798 d.abt 1848? He married Tabitha Talbott in 1824 (Bourbon County,KY)?

    1. Dan, I don't have any Talbotts in my tree, but I have a number of Benjamiins, who were undoubted named after somebody. Please email me at tomscott@gmail.com so we can compare notes.
