William Thornton Scott, Sr./ Sargent

A Patriot of the American Revolution for NORTH CAROLINA with the rank of Private. [http://services.dar.org/public/dar_research/search_adb/?action=full... DAR Ancestor # A10187

VIOLET'S SCOTT  MCLELAND  BROTHER WILLIAM  SCOTT  I decided due to facts found  in Clark county Kentucky  would have to have moved to Kentucky  taking Mary  to join up with her brother James Mcleland. 

So I looked for any William Scott who moved there and died close to Clark county Kentucky.

Will of ths William Scott reveals he is of Jessamine Kentucky

FROM WILL BOOK JESSAMINE COUNTY KENTUCKY WILL OF WILLIAM SCOTT William Scott names wife Grizzlea nee Carrother Son Hugh B and brother John Daughters Sarah Holmes Nancy Galey, Hannah Scott , Sons Samuel Scott,William scott

WHAT IS KNOWN IS VILET SCOTT BROTHER WILLIAM SCOTT raised Vilet Mclelan's daughter Mary while son.James was sent back to Philadelphia Pennsylvania to be raised by an aunt. Records show that Mary Mclelan and James Mcleland were in Clark county Kentucky by 1800s

This left me searching for William Scott who died in Kentucky

William Scott was there in time to take care of the orphaned Mary Mclellan. There is not other information on any other William Scott in that area found. Vilet 's daughter Mary Mclellan was raised by her brother William and his family according to the Scott family contacts.
