Research Notes

  • Image of his will was missing on 17 Mar 2024 Data Doctors report; Found image on Family Search[4] so uploaded the image but may violate the FamilySearch copyright, even though it is a 200 year old public record.
  • Reference copied from his spouse Letitia's profile. Image is missing as well but needs to be located so commented out for now.[3]

I created this John Scott Jr and did a bunch of clean up for the John Scott who is now labeled as his father including moving children here and noting the will on this John Scott.

I don't know that what's here is totally correct and you'll note a total lack of footnotes on the birthdates.

If sources can be found for any birthdates, please adjust as appropriate.

In particular, Betsey Scott seems to be born rather late in her mother's life.
