His name was the very common John Scott. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1778. One of his neighbors, another of my ancestors, was also born that year in German Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. As there were Scotts in that vicinity at the time, I hope studying them will produce a relationship. I had hoped the fact that one of John Scott's oldest sons was named Francis might mean that was his father's name - and there was one in that PA location in 1790. I just got the bond and permission of what I think is John's marriage to a Sarah McDaniel in Clark County, Kentucky. It is HER father who was named Francis. Back to the drawing board on that one!
Starting with my great grandmother, here is my Scott surname list (place Harrison County except where noted):

Interesting. I have Scott and Ackles ancestors. They were from Pennsylvania and then migrated westward. I pick their history up in Illinois, where my 3rd great-grandmother, Sarah Scott settled and raised a family with my 3rd great-grandfather, Richard Aickles/Ackles. Their son, Charles, is my line. They had another son, George. They all lived in the American Bottom, Columbia (formerly called Eagle Twp.), Monroe county, Illinois. Another closely associated family is Ennis. My Charles Ackles married Mahala Ennis.
