Biography
N.B. I am removing Daniel Scott and Ann Randolph Scott as the parents of Daniel Scott as their parentage has been questioned and I do not find a source to support it. (Patrica Prickett Hickin, 18 April 2020.)
- Daniel Scott was born in 1730 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, the only known child of William Scott and Margaret Lytton.
- On 28 November 1751, when he was in his early twenties, he married Ann Randolph. She bore him one known child, a son whom they named Daniel.
- Just a few years later, on 20 January 1755, when he was in his mid-twenties, Daniel died of unknown causes in Powhatan County, Virginia.
Research Notes
Several family genealogies claim that Anne Randolph and Daniel Scott "had no children."[1][2][3][4][5] Any there any authoritative sources to support the contrary claim?

SAR record of Daniel Scott indicates his birth year as 1759. Daniel Scott (spouse of Ann I Randolph) died BEFORE 22 April 1774 so cannot be his father.

Others state that Daniel Scott's parents were Edward Scott and Ann Cox. Obviously more research is required.
