Andrew Scott
ANDREW SCOTT b. about 1707? (17 Dec 1706?) Scotland? Near Edinburgh? Possibly the son of Thomas Scott and Jean Watson.
Family tradition, repeated in various histories of his descendants, holds that Andrew emigrated to the United States in 1725. The above dates and parents are from records at the official government of Scotland's genealogical website. An Andrew Scott - possibly this Andrew - was warrented 200 acres in Fallowfield township, Chester co. Pennsylvania on 17 May 1734; there was no survey made. That same Andrew was listed on tax lists in Fallowfield township from 1732 through 1757 (East Fallowfied in 1753). In 1757 he is no longer listed. Later, in 1774, there was an Andrew Scott and a Thomas Scott listed as East Fallowfield landowners close to one another.
There is a record of an Andrew Scott marrying Jean Wilson on 12 May 1726 at St. Columb's Cathedral, Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
This is all we know of the immigrant ancestor Andrew Scott. I can surmise that because he is not listed in early records of York county Pennsylvania that he either never moved there or died before 1762.
We do know, however, that he was somehow related to this John Scott:
John Scott was born in Scotland, probably near Edinburgh, in 1706. It is unknown when he moved to Northern Ireland, but he was wounded in the Catholic Rebellion in 1725 and lost an arm. While in Ireland, he married Margaret Thornton on March 13, 1740. They immigrated to America in June 1745 and probably arrived at the port of Philadelphia. Several sources indicate that they lived in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In 1762 the growing family packed-up and moved South over the Old Wagon Road which ran East of the Blue Ridge through Virginia to the Piedmont region of North Carolina. They finally reached Guildford County, North Carolina in October 1763 and settled on a plantation along the banks of the Haw River. John Scott was a Presbyterian and an Elder in Mr. Campbell's Church in North Carolina. He was clearly well educated and had remarkable penmanship. Because of his disability, he probably worked as a frontier teacher and small farmer. All of his children were also evidently well educated, at least by frontier standards. John Scott died at age 68 at Guildford Courthouse, North Carolina on November 12,1774. Margaret [Thornton] Scott died in Jessamine County, Kentucky April 6, 1801. The six known children of John and Margaret [Thornton] Scott were:
William Scott (1752- 1804) married Grizelda Carothers ca. 1770
Thomas Scott (1754-1834) married 1. Nancy Carothers February 9, 1775. 2. Sarah Ward October 6, 1800
Samuel Scott (1762- 1820) married Martha McCorkle August 5, 1783
Jinet (Janet)
Nancy Scott--married James Carothers
Martha Scott--married Simeon Frost
Source: "Letter" from William Thomton Scott of Holton, Kansas to Dr. E. O. Guerrant Minister at Troy Presbyterian Church in Woodford County, Kentucky dated May 15, 1895. In this interesting letter (the original which was once in the possession of Miss Martha Guyn of Lexington has since disappeared), Mr. Scott was seeking information about a slate sundial that had been brought from Ireland by his grandfather, John Scott, and presumably was left behind. He planned to exhibit the sundial at the 1895 Atlanta Exposition. Mr. Scott stated, "John Scott, my grandfather, he was one armed, lost the limb in some of the Rebellions in Ireland." William T. Scott was the youngest son of Samuel and Martha [McCorkle] Scott. As perhaps the last surviving son of a "King's Mountain Man", he (Samuel) corresponded on several occasions with Lyman Draper during preparations for his book King's Mountain and Its Heroes (see the Draper Collection 34CC52-54).
Our Andrew Scott did NOT died in Colerain township, Lancaster county Pennsylvania in 1794. That Andrew Scott named a son John (among others), but that John Scott clearly stayed in Lancaster county through at least 1815.
Andrew had at least 1 child:
John b. ca. 1734 (Chester co. Pa.?) d. 1803 Washington co. Va. m. 1756? Ann Creighton
Andrew II?- lived East Fallowfield, Pa., 1774
Thomas?- lived East Fallowfield, Pa., 1774

His DNA does match the group that claim to be descended from an Andrew Scott that is somehow kin to a John Scott - back in the 18th century - both from Scotland to U.S., supposedly both born in or near Edinburgh.

Have one note from Ancestory.com (Source: tomvinson@aol.com) states this man was born in Scotland in 1710, Came from Scotland in 1724 and settled in PA and died 19 JAN 1794 Corain Twsp., Lancaster Co., PAANDREW SCOTT b. about 1705? Scotland died 1794 Colerain Township, Lancaster Co. Pennsylvania m. _____ (Sarah? maiden name Wilson?), who died before 1794. His will was written on 29 Jan 1794, and proved in court 21 Jan 1795. Family tradition, repeated in various histories of his descendants, holds that Andrew emigrated to the United States in 1725. He seems to be listed in the 1790 census of Lancaster County, in Colerain Township, in a family of 4 males over the age of 16 and one female. This probably included one or two of his sons and two or three of his grandsons, but not his wife as there was no wife listed in his will (either that, or she died between 1790-1794). The link between Andrew Scott and John Scott (father of John Wilson Scott I) is not very strong. Two strong arguments against Andrew being the father of that John are that the names of Andrew's other children do not match the names chosen for John's descendants at all, and that an apparent death date of 1794 for Andrew is very late, considering John Scott apparently lived 1734-1803 (people are rarely as old as 60 when their father dies); if we consider simply that John Scott was born when his father was between the ages of 20 and 40, then this Andrew Scott lived between 80 and 100 years. The fact that the date the will was written and the date it was proved in court were one year apart may be significant; if Andrew was aged around 89 when he wrote this will, it was almost certainly an update of an earlier will, possibly because of the death of his wife or other unmentioned children (ask yourself, would a man in his late eighties write his first will then?). Andrew had at least 6 children (who were living in 1794), and probably more: Matthew- living 1794 Ann m. _____ (William?) Kenedy , living 1794 Margaret m. _____ Brown, living 1794 Jean m. _____ Donaldson, living 1794 John b. 1734 Penn. d. 1802/3 Washington Co. VA m. ca. 1762? Ann Creighton David- living 1794; there was a David Scott listed in the 1800 census of Lancaster Co. Penn., on the same page as a William Kennedy family (this implying both were born before 1755, which makes sense).

(Washington Co., VA Will Book 2 pg 419-420 recorded 18 Oct 1803)JOHN SCOTT s/o Andrew Scott b. 1734 York or Chester co. Pennsylvania m. ca 1756? probably Pa., Ann(a) Craytin/Clayton/Creighton b. ca. 1744 d. 1810's Adair co. Ky. Her birthdate has been listed as ca. 1737, but guessing by her children's birthdates implies a birthdate closer to 1744; she was probably a bit younger than her husband, as he seems to have fathered children at least from the ages of about 29 to about 43. More than one source has said that John Scott, father of John Wilson Scott I, was born in or about 1734 in Pennsylvania, the son of Andrew Scott, who emigrated from Scotland to Pennsylvania in or about 1725 ("Annals of Iowa", Vol. XIII, No. 4, April, 1922; "History of the Early Settlers of Sangamon Co. Illinois", 1876). These sources relied heavily on 2nd- and 3rd-generation descendants of John Wilson Scott I, so their information was apparently the family tradition passed down by John Wilson Scott I. Anna's maiden name was long thought to be Wilson, which would account for the name being passed down to her sons and beyond. However, no proof has ever been found. Many sources have repeated the obvious date errors in "History of the Early Settlers of Sangamon Co. Illinois" (that the John Scott who was born in 1734 and married in 1756 also fought in the Revolutionary War and had his eldest son born in 1786); also listed in this book was that John Wilson Scott's first wife was Ann Craytin. However, since many of George & Anne Scott Kincannon's (see below) descendants passed on the family name "Creighton" (including to their youngest daughter, Isabella Creighton Kincannon), and absolutely none of the descendants of George Kincannon's brothers and sisters passed on that name, it was thought by Kincannon family researchers- and is reasonable to conclude- that the name was passed from Anne Scott's family. The confusion in "History of the Early Settlers of Sangamon Co. Illinois" may have come from Ann Creighton being John Wilson Scott's mother's name, not his first wife's name. The basic problem may be that all the family tradition information before John Wilson Scott I was passed down by him and him alone- there is no proof so far of any of his brothers and sisters interacted with his family after his marriage to Nancy Keith. It is understandable that one detail that would be incorrectly repeated by his second family is the name of his first wife. According to "Annuals of Southwest Virginia", under 'First Surveys of Land in Washington co. Va.', p. 1245, John Scott was surveyed with 400 acres in Washington county on 20 Aug 1781 that was actually settled in 1772, as well as 400 acres that probably was the same land on 29 Jan 1783 on the north side of the middle fork of the Holston River, and 400 acres (again, may or may not be the same land) on a branch of the Little Hoston River and the north side of the middle fork of the Holston River. On 18 May 1781, John Scott was a part of a grand jury (along with Francis Kincannon) in a case between William Jenkins and his father Thomas Jenkins. From 1781 to 1802, John Scott was listed in various tax lists and personal property lists in Washington county, Virginia. He was always listed as owning as few as 3 or as many as 6 horses. Because there was another extended Scott family living nearby at the time, it is difficult to ascertain which other Scotts belong to which family, but I believe his son John (listed as "John Jr.") was enumerated with him 1783; his son Wilson in 1788 & 1789; and his son Andrew in 1795 and 1797-1805 (when the lists I had access to ended). Since we know John (Jr.) was born in 1763, resonable estimates for Wilson & Andrew's birthdates would be 1768 and 1775 respectively, if they ventured onto their own land at the same ages. No other John Scott is listed in 1784, so our John (Wilson) Scott had left the county, either as a widower, or with his young wife and child- the wife dying shortly after. In 1785 another John Scott is listed, and in 1786 two "J. Scotts" were listed, but they did not live near the elder John Scott of our line. Also in 1786, Russell county was formed from part of Washington county. In 1787 and 1788, our John Scott is the only one listed- it would seem the other J. Scotts lived in what became Russell county. At this point, it is believed our John W. Scott I was married to Nancy Keith and they had had their first child, Andrew. On 17 Aug 1788, a tax list shows listed next to each other a John Scott with one male age 16-21 and 6 horses, and a William Scott with one male age 16-21 and 2 horses. On 17 Oct 1788, a tax list shows a John Scott and a Wilson Scott in Washington co. Va., listed next to one another, as being white males and having 6 and 2 horses respectively (establishing, at least, that Wilson was sometimes enumerated at William). Only John Scott was shown to own land, the same 400 acres, 3.4 per, and value of 66.13.4. Wilson Scott appears again in 1789 (now with 3 horses), but not again thereafter. John Scott continues to list 2 "county levys" (adult white males), so it would appear Wilson Scott left the county in 1789/90. A John Scott Jr. is listed in the Washington county tax lists beginning in 1789. Eventually, he owns three parcels of land consisting of 231, 60, and 20 1/2 acres (from 1801 on). This is clearly a son of Samuel Scott Sr., of the other Scott family near Ebbing Spring (although it's important to note that in 1789, John Scott Jr. is listed between John Scott and Wilson Scott). There are also other John Scotts in those lists- a John Scott listed as "John Scott R. O." (1791-1794), "John Scott W. M." (1795-1798), and "John Scott R. V." (1799-1802) all seem to refer to the same person living on 126 acres. There is also an "extra" unaccounted for John Scott listed in 1789, another John Scott Jr. in 1790, and a John Scott in 1791. It's possible our John W. Scott I lived in Washington county for some time before finally settling in South Carolina- he isn't listed in the 1790 census in South Carolina where we know he lived. On 15 Dec 1794, John and Anne Scott sold, for £75, 81 acres on the north side of the middle fork of the Holston River in Washington co. Va., to Jacob Wolf, The next day, 16 Dec 1794, John and Anne Scott sold, for £150, 160 acres on the north side of the middle fork of the Holston River in Washington co. Va., to John Orr. On that same day, they sold, for £100, 150 acres on a branch of the middle fork of the Holston River in Washington co. Va., to Isaac Williams. In the tax lists for 1793 and 1794, John Scott is listed with 250 acres; from 1795-1798, with no land. From 1799 until his death, he shows as having 122 acres. In 1802, a John Scott was recorded to have taken the oath to the Commonwealth of Virginia and the oath of an Ensign in the 2nd battalion of the 70th regiment of the Virginia Militia by justice of the peace Samuel Meek- probably not our John Scott. In the History of Rhea County, Tennessee, where George and Ann Scott Kincannon lived for a time (see below), John Scott was referred to as "Captain John Scott". Sometime shortly before Thursday, 4 Mar 1803, John Scott died in Washington co. Va. without leaving a will. In a document (will book 2, page 419) filed on 4 Mar 1803 and proven in court on 18 Oct 1803, John Scott's heirs relinquished any claims to his estate, in consideration for their mother, who was said to be in a "forlorn situation", with "an unfortunate child being an ideot". They left the estate "to her own use & for the benefit, raising & nurturing the said unfortunate child Mary W. Scott". On 9 Mar 1803, an inventory was taken of all the personal property of John Scott. On 1 Jan 1804 (the document was proven in court 17 Jan 1804), Ann Scott sold, for $1 (implying it was a gift), the tract of land where she lived on the north side of the middle fork of the Holston River in Washington co. Va., to Andrew Scott (her son). The land totalled about 6 acres. On 14 Jan 1804, Andrew Scott sold, for $280.25, 31 acres and 36 poles on the north side of the middle fork of the Holston river in Washington co. Va., where the heirs of Gabriel Gills lived, to Philip & Margaret Greever. On 19 Oct 1807, David Clark and Ann Scott sold 116 acres on the north side of the middle fork of the Holston. John & Anna Creighton Scott had at least 6 children, according to John Scott's will: John (Wilson) b. 29 May 1763 York Co. Pennsylvania (probably either near Peach Bottom or in what is now Adams co. PA), d. 13 Mar 1847 Waynesville, Dewitt co. Illinois. m/1. 3 May 1782 Washington co. Va. Sarah Kincannon d/o Francis Sr. & Elizabeth Summers? Kincannon, one child; m/2. about Feb 1785 Nancy Keith d/o Daniel & Elizabeth Liddell Keith, b. 22 July 1766 Pennsylvania or Talbot Co. Maryland d. 13 Sept 1838 Waynesville Twp., McLean (now Dewitt) Co. Ill.; 14 children. Wilson- b. ca. 1768 d. after 1803, maybe 1810's Lincoln co. Tenn., maybe 1830's McNairy co. Tenn. m. ca. 1787 _____, who prob. d. before 1803. Wilson was listed in tax lists in Washington co. Va. in 1788 and 1789 and not thereafter. There was no wife for Wilson listed in his father's probate in 1803, so he very well might have been widowed by then (or he had not yet married by the age of about 35). He may have moved to McNairy Co. Tenn., as there is a Wilson Scott listed in his 50's in the 1830 census of that county (giving a birthdate in the 1770's), who appears to be a widower (no woman his age listed in the household), with (apparently) a son Jesse living nearby. Neither Wilson or Jesse were there in 1840. Or, he could be the patriarch of the Scott family of Lincoln county, Tennessee, and married a Catherine _____ and had 9 children (or this could be his brother Andrew). Some records of that family seem to indicate a father named Andrew, and some a father named Wilson. Whoever it was died so early the records are very sketchy. Ann b. ca. 1772, either York (now Adams) co. Penn. or Augusta (now Washington) co. Va. d. 1860's Bradley Co. Tenn. m. c. 1787? 1791? Washington Co. Va. George Kincannon b. ca. 1765 York (now Adams) Co. Penn. d. ca. 1834 Rhea (now Meigs) Co. Tenn. George & Ann moved to Sevier Co. Tenn. in 1807, then to Rhea (now Meigs) Co. Tenn. in the early 1820's, where George died. Ann later moved to Bradley Co. Tenn. They had 10 or 11 children. George is said in some records as having fought at Kings Mountain, but in another to have cried because he was too young to go along. Ann is said in a county history from 1860 to still be living in Bradley County Tennessee, but I have not found her in the census for that year. Andrew b. ca. 1775 prob. Augusta (now Washington) Co. Va. d. 1815 (19?) Lincoln Co. Tenn. (someone's research showed a death date of 1815, but his daugther Jane is listed in the 1850 as being age 30) m. Catherine _____ (Buchanan?) b. 1780 Va. d. after 1850 Lincoln Co. Tenn. No marriage record is found in Washington Co. Va. for them. The children of Catherine/Katherine Scott and her late husband of Lincoln county Tennessee might have been Andrew's or Wilson's. Some researchers have thought that they were one person, named Andrew Wilson Scott; if so, how could they have signed the 1803 renunciation document seperately? Isabella b. 1776/7 now Washington Co. Va. d. after 1850 Gibson Co. Ind. m. 16 Apr 1795 Washington Co. Va. (by Edward Crawford, Presbyterian) David Clark b. 1766/7 N. C. d. after 1850 Gibson co. Ind. s/o William & Mary _____ Dollison Clarke. David & Isabella moved to Adair co. Kentucky between 1807 and 1810 and to Gibson co. Ind. in 1826. They had at least 9 children, one of whom was named Wilson Clark. Mary W. b. after 1785? Washington co. Va. d. 1803-1810? Washington Co. Va. or Adair Co. Kentucky. Listed in her father's probate as "an idiot", probably never married. She was referred to in that document as an "unfortunate child"; if we take this literally and assume it means she was under age 18, she would have been born after 1785. Her mother would then have been-- at least-- age 41 when she was born. She was alive in 1803 and seems to have died by 1810, because her mother seems to no longer be living with her. On 9 Mar 1803, an inventory was taken of all the personal property of John Scott. On 1 Jan 1804 (the document was proven in court 17 Jan 1804), Ann Scott sold, for $1 (implying it was a gift), the tract of land where she lived on the north side of the middle fork of the Holston River in Washington co. Va., to Andrew Scott (her son). The land totalled about 6 acres. On 14 Jan 1804, Andrew Scott sold, for $280.25, 31 acres and 36 poles on the north side of the middle fork of the Holston River in Washington Co. Va., where the heirs of Gabriel Gills lived, to Philip & Margaret Greever. On 19 Oct 1807, David Clark and Ann Scott sold 116 acres on the north side of the middle fork of the Holston.
