Research Notes

A later-created profile for "Abraham Scott," with the same parents stated his birth was in 1712 and that he died in 1778 in "Southeast, Pennsylvania" It was decided that, as these parents did not have 2 sons with the same given name at the same time, the year 1712 was most-likely a "typo" for 1702. The death year of 1749, with the original profile said to be born in 1702, in Nottingham, Chester, Pennsylvania, where it's known the family had lived, was also selected. Documentation is needed.
