“A little more is known about Martha Scott, primarily from Paul Heinegg's book, FREE AFRICAN AMERICANS OF VA, NC, SC, MD, AND DE. Martha Scott was the daughter of Abraham Scott, a Free Person of Color, about 1730 in Bertie Co, NC (later became Northampton Co, NC in 1741). On 22 Sep 1747 Abraham Scott gave to his daughter, Martha, wife of Peter Bray, a white man, 100 acres of land "for love and affection" (Northampton Co, NC Deed Book 1, page 330). We know that Abraham also had sons: Abraham Jr., David, Randall, John and Sterling.“
