Walter SCOTT married Jean SCOTT (daughter of Robert SCOTT in Sandyknow and had 5 sons and a daughter

When Isabella (Scott) Murray [Free Settler "Earl Grey" 1851] daughter of Hugh Scott and Agnes Scott arrived in Australia her embarkation records were

Murray: Isabella – Age 49. Farm Servant N/P – Bowden, Roxburghshire. Parents – Hugh Scott and Agnes Veitch, both dead. Church of Scotland. Reads and writes. Relations in Colony: 4 sons and 1 daughter, Hugh, James, Agnes, William and Thomas Murray living at Stroud, in service of Australian Agricultural Co. Good Health. No Complaints. Paid 20 pounds for self and family.

The ship "Earl Grey" departed Plymouth on 18/6/1851 and arrived in Sydney 15/10/1851

From that we can determine that Hugh SCOTT and Agnes VEITCH were deceased prior to 15 October 1851
