Biography

THEODOSIA SCOTT's first name is variously given as Theodosia, Theodocia, or "Doshy Kendall" "The??cia" as she appears in her father Thomas Scott's will.

Ohio census reports place her birth in Virginia about 1794, and she died July 1875 in Brown County, Ohio where she is buried next to her husband, David Kendall in the Old Russellville Cemetery [aka Shaw Cemetery] in Brown Co, Ohio. Her headstone says she died July 11, 1875 aged 81 (making her birth year 1794 which matches with the age given on the 1850 census.) She is the daughter of Thomas Scott and Ann Cooksey.

Siblings Thomas Scott's Will probated 4 Feb 1854, names her other siblings as Nancy Pikett, Matilda Moore, Elizabeth Johnston, Julian Parsons, and Thomas Scott Jr each to receive a one sixth share. [1]

My own [Steven Holloway] autosomal evidence suggests that with father Thomas Scott and mother Ann Cooksey, my Theodocia has sisters Matilda (Scott) Moore, Mary (Scott) Tucker, and Julia Anne (Scott) Parsons[2] which is supported with other evidence [e.g. Terry Bodkin's Scott page].[3]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Theodocia by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Theodocia:

There is some confusion over Theodocia's mother which I am trying to sort now that I've adopted this profile [on Valentine's Day 2021, so be kind!] Previously the profile for David Kindle's wife gave her only mother as Alice C Glover and sisters Elizabeth (Scott) Simmons, Charity (Scott) Newman and attached her to a Philpot lineage. However family tradition (including public trees at Ancestry), Terry Bodkin's Scott website, and my own autosomal evidence have held her mother to be [Nancy] Ann Cooksey daughter of Lemaster Cooksey of Maryland. Furthermore the will of father, Thomas Scott, 1854 which mentions her ["Doshy Kendall'], makes no mention of Elizabeth or Charity. Ancestry has found me one autosomal cousin via "Charity" as a half sister to Theodocia which opens the slight possibility Alice C Glover might be a second wife for our Thomas [earlier?]. Still why no mention in his will?

Theodocia (Scott) Kendall does not belong to this Scott lineage [Glover-Philpot]. Neither above source supports GLover as her mother's name.
