Message Board Post:
I am trying to find Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio Scott connections, in hopes of, finding my
GG Grandfather's parents, siblings, and cousins. My GG Grandfather, John B. Scott has
been stated as being born in Kentucky and Ohio. In the 1850 and 1860 Census has him born
1811 in Kentucky and 1870 Census has him born 1807 in Ohio. He is not found in 1880
Census. This leads me to believe he died between 1870-1880. His wife, Mary Hannah-Scott
was listed as Widowed in 1880 Census and is living with daughter and son-in-law.
My father always told me my GG Grandfather was from Ohio. He was from Rising Sun; which,
is in Indiana now. At one time, Rising Sun was part of Ohio State. I am wondering, if at
one time, this may have also, been a part of Kentucky State. Maybe, this is why he is
listed as being born in Ohio and Kentucky. There is a small section between Rising Sun
and Cincinnati that is now Kentucky. So I am searching Dearborn County, Indiana, Ohio
County, Indiana, Switzerland County, Indiana, Hamilton County, Ohio, Montgomery County,
Ohio, Miami County, Ohio, Vinton County, Ohio, Boone County, Kentucky, Kenton County,
Kentucky, Campbell County, Kentucky, Allen County, Kentucky, and Warren County, Kentucky
in search of Scott relatives.
I am also, wondering about Miami. My father mentioned Miami Tribe my GG Grandfather
belonged to. He is not listed on any Dawes Rolls. I have searched there, as well. There
is Miamitown outside Cincinnati, Ohio in Hamilton County and there is a Miamisburg, Ohio
outside of Dayton in Montgomery County and then there is Miami County above Dayton, Ohio.
I have even heard stories of Seminole's from Miami, Florida. I have another Scott
family friend where her family is from Vinton County, Ohio. Haven't been able to
connect the two families, yet. Also, there is a story from a cousin that said my GG
Grandfather was in Kentucky and boarded a train near what is present day Bowling Green,
Warren County, Kentucky and came to Indiana before his marriage to Mary Hannah in 1838. I
do not know exact time line. I do know of another family who's ancestry was on the
same train. They died in route to Indiana and didn't make it. So, I know the story
is true. Now, for what reason he w!
as in that location; I do not know. It may even be possible that he was born in the
Warren County, Kentucky area. Also, he may have had a 1st marriage with Mary and John not
being married until 1838 in Dearborn County, Indiana. John would have been 27-31 years of
age and Mary would have been 24 years old. Mary could have even had a 1st marriage. I
don't know.
My GG Grandmother Mary Hannah was born in Pennsylvania in 1814. Her parents are listed as
being born in Delaware. I have been unable to locate any of her family either. Also, I
have found a James Scott living with John and Mary in 1870 Census. I do not know, if this
is a son, nephew, or cousin. This is the only Census I have found him.
Any help or suggestions would gratefully be received in helping solve the mystery of
finding my GG Grandparent's family. Email me at debby_scott(a)yahoo.com. Thank you for
any help.

Location Notes 1: My father told me our line of Scott's are related to Scott's in
Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Ohio, North/South Carolina, Pennslyvania, and
possibly Virginia.

Kentucky. Some stayed in Kentucky; others went to Ohio, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and
Indiana.

County, Bowling Green, KY and came to Indiana.
Location Notes 3: There is a town Scottsville in Allen County, Kentucky near Owensboro,
Kentucky
NOTE: John middle name maybe "Bruce". It is possible, since we have two other
Bruce's. My brother's name is Bruce and his son's middle name is Bruce. It
would stand to reason that my dad could have named him after his GG Grandfather's
middle name of Bruce.
