• Ohio Supreme Court Justice Thomas Scott in his 1851 letter to his children outlining their ancestry stated on page 10:

Polly (Dobson) intermarried with Aaron Parker by whom she had three sons, William, Thomas and Nathaniel. Margaret never married. On the death of the old Major, their last surviving parent, his estate, real and personal, which was pretty considerable, passed to his said three children or their legal representatives. I have heard that they emigrated to the West, I know not where. Nearly sixty years have elapsed since I met with any of them, except William Parker who called to see me many years since.
