1830- Census records in Henry Co., AL missed the John Scott family.
1840- John Scott family shows in Henry Co., AL
1844- March 5 - William Scott marries Nancy Kirkland in Henry Co., AL.
1850 - Census shows a Nancy Scott, a widow, with a four year old
son, William Scott in Henry Co., AL. It is assumed that William Sr.
died shortly after his marriage and that this is his widow and young
son.
Scott
Family Bible
The Scott Bible shown here appears to have
the same border of the bible that was given to Elijah Kirkland about
the same time. This seems to confirm my belief that the Kirkland bible was created
before the Civil War. The bible was actually published in
Cooperstown, N. Y in 1840.
1859, Aug 30 - John Scott dies
1859, Dec 10 - Nancy Scott dies --- There were several more
deaths of other family members in the summer of 1859 due to an
unidentified illness. All are buried in the Sholar Cemetery, Shelby
County,
Texas. The 111 acre cemetery was founded on land
previously owned by William Scott, son of John and Nancy(Kirkland)
Scott, who sold it to William Scholar, his brother-in-law.
