About Ann Scott

John & Anna Creighton Scott had at least 6 children, according to John Scott's will:

  * John (Wilson) b. 29 May 1763 York co. Pennsylvania (probably either near Peach Bottom or in what is now Adams co. PA), d. 13 Mar 1847 Waynesville, Dewitt co. Illinois. m/1. 3 May 1782 Washington co. Va. Sarah Kincannon d/o Francis Sr. & Elizabeth Summers? Kincannon, one child; m/2. about Feb 1785 Nancy Keith d/o Daniel & Elizabeth Liddell Keith, b. 22 July 1766 Pennsylvania or Talbot co. Maryland d. 13 Sept 1838 Waynesville Twp., McLean (now Dewitt) co. Ill.; 14 children.

* Wilson- b. ca. 1768 d. after 1803, probably 1815-1819 Lincoln co. Tenn. m. ca. 1787 Catherine? _____, who either died before 1803 or after 1850 in Lincoln co. Tenn. Wilson was listed in tax lists in Washington co. Va. in 1788 and 1789 and not thereafter. There was no wife for Wilson listed in his father's probate in 1803, so he might have been widowed by then, he had not yet married by the age of about 35, or he lived too far away for his wife to travel with him. He was most likely the patriarch of the Scott family of Lincoln county, Tennessee, and had 9 children. Some records of that family seem to indicate a father named Andrew (although none that I have seen), and some a father named Wilson. Whoever it was died so early the records are very sketchy, but I believe Wilson did end up in Lincoln co. Tenn.
* Ann "Scotch Annie" b. 1771/2, either York (now Adams) co. Penn. or (more likely) Augusta (now Washington) co. Va. d. after 1860, probably in Bradley co. Tenn. m. ca. 1787/1791 Washington co. Va. George Kincannon b. ca. 1765 York (now Adams) co. Penn. d. 24 Sept 1832 McMinn co. Tenn. George & Ann moved to Sevier co. Tenn. in 1807, then to Rhea (now Meigs) co. Tenn. in the early 1820's; at some point they lives in McMinn county, where George died. Ann later moved to Bradley co. Tenn. and was living with her youngest daughter Isabella Creighton Kincannon Davis and family in 1860. They had 10 or 11 children. George is said in some records as having fought at Kings Mountain, but in another to have cried because he was too young to go along. George made a statement in support of Andrew Evans' application for a Revolutionary War pension on 23 Sept 1832, and George died the next day.
* Andrew b. 1772/3 prob. Augusta (now Washington) co. Va. m. Catherine "Katy" _____ No marriage record is found in Washington co. Va. for them. The children of Catherine/Katherine Scott and her late husband of Lincoln county Tennessee might have been Andrew's or Wilson's. Some researchers have thought that they were one person, named Andrew Wilson Scott; if so, how could they have signed the 1803 renunciation document seperately? I believe Andrew Scott left Washington county Virginia shortly after selling his land in 1804, but where he went is still a mystery.
* Isabella b. 1776/7 now Washington co. Va. d. after 1850 Gibson co. Ind. m. 16 Apr 1795 Washington co. Va. (by Edward Crawford, Presbyterian) David Clark b. 1766/7 N. C. d. after 1850 Gibson co. Ind. s/o William & Mary _____ Dollison Clarke. David & Isabella moved to Adair co. Kentucky between 1807 and 1810 and to Gibson co. Ind. in 1826. They had at least 9 children, one of whom was named Wilson Clark.
* Mary W. b. after 1785? Washington co. Va. d. 1803-1810? Washington co. Va. or Adair co. Kentucky. Listed in her father's probate as "an ideot", probably never married. She was referred to in that document as an "unfortunate child"; if we take this literally and assume it means she was under age 18, she would have been born after 1785. Her mother would then have been-- at least-- age 41 when she was born. She was alive in 1803 and seems to have died by 1810, because her mother was apparenly no longer living with her.
