About William Scott

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/78277724/william-scott

Birth 1672 Maryland, USA
Death 1740 (aged 67–68) Prince George's County, Maryland, USA

William and Mary Lucas Scott only had 2 sons Thomas and William and a daughter Mary. William Scott, Jr wife was also Mary her maiden name is unknown, and its William Jr, that died in 1752 PGM Not William Scott Sr's death date is uncertain in my records possible before 1740. William Scott's birthplace is not proven. There are no proven records of his parents. It is certain he had a brother George Scott but few to no records on George Scott. Based on DNA matches I expect this Scott family came from England to America. William Scott Sr may have been the first with his brother George Scott. Please do your own research.



May have been bn in Fife, Scotland per Jerry Scott Find A Grave
[That is a different William Scott.]

From GenForum post by Jerry Scott: Lettice Russell was not born in Buncombe Co North Carolina, Buncombe was not formed until 1791 and Lettice was born in 1757 thatabouts. Another thing her parents were not Joseph Russell and Elizabeth Penn this is made up fron the 1950's bad research on the Scotts and Russells and is simple incorrect.

The best Source we have for Lettice Russell's father is William Russell who came to North Carolina with Samuel Scott and Mary Jones from PG Maryland.

William Russell married Thomas Scott's sister Rachel Scott and from the research and very limited records William Russell had a first wife and had children Isaac, Benjamin and Lettice Russell, Wiliam 1st wife died and William married Rachel Scott and had 8 more children. No where in any records in Burke/ Wilkes or anywhere has the name Joseph Russell and Elizabeth Penn been found.
This is the same bad research that Thomas Scott parents were John Scott an Margaret Thorton and we know this is incorrect per very good research on John and Margaret, who did have a son Thomas Scott b/ 1754 and was at the Battle of Kings Mountain, just like our Thomas Scott.

Thomas Scott b/ 1754 had two brothers at Kings Mountain William and Samuel. There were at list 10 Scotts at Battle of Kings Mountain not related.

Our Thomas Scott was prob. only about 15 when his parents came to North Carolina and where in Rowan Co NC by 1770.

They did not buy land until 1778 in Rowan/ Burke and as the County lines changed in Burke Co not formed until 1777 from Rowan.

From very good research and with very good Sources, Court Records land deeds we can say without Question that the parents of Thomas Scott born July 19, 1755 in Prince Co Maryland not Cecil Co Maryland were Samuel Scott and Mary Jones.
His brothers were Nathan Scott m/ Sarah Hereford, Samuel Scott, Jr., married Hannnah Phillip, Richard Scott, settled in Wilson Tennessee, Jemima Scott, Rachel Scott married William Russell from records must have been William second wife. Believe William Russell had fisrt wife because of land deeds and tax list with Benjamin and Isaac Russell were his sons.
This Scott line can be proven from

William Scott b/ 1672 married Mary Lucas daughter of Thomas Lucas and Elizabeth
had Daughter Mary b/ 1700 PG Maryland
had son Thomas Scott b/ 1702 PG Maryland married Elizabeth Prather daughter of John Prather and Catherine
son William Scott b/ 1704 married Mary stayed in Maryland and very good research on his children from his Will died in 1752

Thomas Scott born 1702 had son Samuel Scott b/ 1728 married Mary Jones, daughter of Richard Jones, son of Thomas Jones of AA Maryland.

Abouut 1766 Samuel Scott was selling land that his father Thomas owned that he recieved from his father William.

Samuel sold this land to Thomas Beall and his cousin Zach Scott and William Scott his brother b/ 1730.
Between 1766-1770 Samuel Scott with the Russell family came to North Carolina and had brought a slave boy Adam to North Carolina, a son of Priss that was given to Mary Jones in abt 1755 from her father Richard Jones. Adam suited for his freedom per Court Records in Morgonton NC.

1788-89.The Court Records clearly places Thomas Scott as son of Samuel and Mary Jones Scott, and Rachel as husband of William Russell. Henry Hereford was mentioned in the Court Records and was the father-in-law to Nathan Scott, son of Samuel Scott and Mary Jones.

Pg. 94- On Oct 12, 1709 Dr. Mordecai Moore of Anne Arundel County gave to National Taylor, William Tannchill, William Hatton, James Beall, Alexander Beall, William Scott, William Thompson, and their successors half acre of land in the Southwest corner of " Locust Thicket", lying on the south side of the Eastern Branch of the Potomic River, for the purple of building a house for the worship of Almighty God.This deed give us the name of three men in Prince George's Co who were Presbyterians,William Hatton was a delegate to the General Assembly and also a justice of the Provincial Court. William Scott had served as both as overseer of the highways and constable in his hundred, while William Thompson, brother of Christopher Thompson, had also served as overseer in his hundred.

pg 71- On May 28, 1731, William Scott had given to four men of the upper part of the parish and their heirs so long as it should be used as a chapel, one acre of land called "William Scott's Gift" for a Chapel, part of the tract 'William and Mary Increased " and there is a reference to the chapel in the vestry minutes as early as April 1735. In May 1744 an act was passed at the General Assembly to deem this a chapel of King George's Parish and to empower the justices of the county to levy the sum of f200 current money on the taxable inhabitants of the parish for building a chapel. The vestry entered into a contract with George Scott to build the Chapel, rail in the yard and cover the old chapel with clapboards. Pews were also built by Mr. Scott and sold to the parishioners. This chapel was known either as the Upper Chapel, the Eastern Branch Chapel or Mr Addison Chapel. The last is the name which has clung to it though the years, and today it is still known as Addison Chapel. William Scott was a elder of this Church

"Stones and Bone" says this: "In about 1695 a company of Scottish Presbyterians under the pastorate of Rev. Nathaniel Taylor settled in Marlborough. In 1704, Col. Ninian Beall deeded one-half acre of land to 17 of his fellow Scotsmen for erecting a house of worship there. This was part of his tract "The Meddows". The meeting house that the Scotsmen built was the first Presbyterian church in the County and only the third in America. ---:" That site is now Trinity Episcopal Church.

In 1972 the church and cemetery were placed in the Register of Historic Sites of the United States of America.

Ninian Beall, a neighbor and friend of William Scott who was in New Sc Scotland
He seems to have identified himself with the Presbyterian Church of Ma before 1690. During that year 200 Presbyterian immigrants came over from Scotland under his supervision. He located them along the Potomac River and called the settlement New Scotland. These immigrants brought with them, Rev. Nathaniel Taylor. There is recorded at Upper Marl boro a deed of gift from Col. Ninian Beall to Reverend Taylor, of land In Upper Marlboro upon which to build a church. In 1707 Col. Ninian Bea ll presented the above church a costly silver communion set, made in L London. A portion of this silver communion set is now in the Presbyterian Church at Hyattsville, Md

Upper Marlborough, Maryland, was founded by a company of Scottish immigrants and was ministered to by the Rev. Nathaniel Taylor, also from S Scotland. Note; Our William Scott b/ 1672 was an Elder of this Church of N Nathaniel Taylor.
