Notes: Notes for Patrick Scott & Ann Wilson (Willson) Scott We think that Patrick Scott's wife was named Ann Wilson. This is based on the information that is in Deed Book "L", Laurens District, S.C. Patrick and his wife Ann sold 290 acres to Jason Meadors. At this time, We think that Ann Willson (Wilson) is the daughter of Benjamin Willson (Wilson) by his first wife (Ann ?? Pollock who died in giving birth to Ann Willson). This theory would make Ann Willson the granddaughter of James Pollock. Ann Scott is mentioned as his daughter in the will of Benjamin Willson (Wilson). "I also give and bequeath unto my daughter Ann Scott ten dollars which shall be her full part of my estate as all that I allow to her out of my property …" Will dated 22 April 1815. (Laurens Co. S.C., Will Book "D-1", page207-208) In the will of James Pollock he list his granddaughter as Ann Scott. Patrick Scott "his friend" is named one of the executors of his estate. (Laurens Co S.C., Will Book "A-1", page 101-102). The above may not meet the "GPS" at this point in time. (Genealogical Proof Standard). Benjamin Willson (Wilson) sold James Pollock 100 Ac. Of land on Duncan's Creek. 26 February 1790. This was a fee simple deed and indicates that it is part of an inheritance from Benjamin, to his child. Benjamin's wife, Elizabeth signs the dower. Witnesses were Robert Long and Richard Bell. (Laurens Co. S.C. Deed Book "C", page 144) Next James Pollock sells this same tract of land to Ann Wilson a single woman. This deed is written in such a way that it appears to be passing an inheritance from a trustee to an heir. James Pollock's wife Ann signs the dower for this land. Witnesses were John Edwards and John Ryan. Date of deed was 6 March 1790. (Laurens Co. S.C. Deed Book "C", page 141) In James Pollock's will he left 50 Acres of land to his granddaughter Ann Scott's son James. This was the son of Patrick and Ann Willson Scott. The other 150 acres of land that James Pollock willed went to other grandch ildren. Each grandson received 50 acres each. They were James Pollock son of John Pollock, James Dalrymple son of Sarah Pollock Dalrymple, James Gray, son of Elizabeth Pollock Gray. Patrick Scott purchased the rights for the land from each of the grandchildren. (Laurens Co. S.C. Deed Book "J" page 28, 29 & 266) The rights to the land could not be exercised until James Pollock's wife Ann died. Ann died about 1809 and the land then belonged to Patrick Scott except the 50 acres that his son James owned. In the 1800 U.S. Census for Laurens Co. S.C. under Capt. Robert Scott (our Robert) is listed Patrick Scott, living next to Anne Pollock. This was the Duncan's Creek Area of Laurens County. The uplands of S.C., at this time, were organized into areas under a Captain for defense against Indians, British, and others. This upland area was also known as the 96th District and most grants from the State will state the 96th District. After the original grants, the property was exchanged in the County or Local District names. The 96th District was a large area that took up most of the uplands of S.C. Patrick Scott and his wife Ann sold the land from the Willson and Pollock original grants on 14 January 1822 to Jason Meadows. Ann signed the dower rights for this land. Witnesses were William Copeland and Thomas McCrary. (Laurens Co. S.C. Deed Book "L" page 120) This about the time that Patrick and Ann left Laurens Co. S.C. to move to Georgia.
