Is there anyone out there with the surname of Scott in their family: current married name, ancestor's name, or distant relatives? This is an extremely challenging name to trace for African-Americans as the Scott name reaches across the world. I do believe, however, that there has to be a connection of all African-American Scott surnames, especially in light of the research I have done since 1996.

If your last name is Scott or was prior to marriage, or if you have family or friends that are African-American with the surname of Scott, please contact me. I would like to share information and swap notes. Thanks for your time and efforts. I have been up against this brick wall since 1996.

I know that my grandfather was an educated man and was a subistute teacher sometimes, this was because he was allowed to go to school because the captian of the boat that he was a stowaway on , son refused to learn , and at night my grandfather taught him the lessons he learned , when the slaves was freed , he came to texas, it is also said that he saved the son 's life.; he also left behind if I'm not wrong 3 or 4 sisters, no mention of brothers or who his parents were

I come from a long line of Scott's, James A. Scott born in
1858 while living in Bay Bottom, Pope County Illinois. His
wife was Ollie Sutton They had 9 living children. I believe he
was born in Tennessee. If any of this is helpful let me know.

My maiden name is Scott. My 2nd great grandparents were Henry Scott (South Carolina) and Lucinda Wilson (Tennessee). They had eight children that I know. Here are their names: Zachariah, John, Joseph (my great grandfather), Walter, Lucy, Sallie, Henry and James. Joseph had a son name Fred Scott and he had a son name Tommie Scott (my father). Hopefully there is a connection.

I am searching for anyone who may be connected to the Scott family of Red River County Texas who lived in the White Rock area around 1900. In 1906 a group of families including Scott, Bosan, Estes and Mims moved from Red River County Texas to the Wapanucka and Caney Oklahoma area. According to my grandfather Mims they traveled by wagon train and crossed the Red River into Oklahoma. Any help would be appreciated.

My great grandmother's name was Harriet Scott, born abt 1851
in Richland, SC. She married Joseph Canty also born in
richland abt 1828.
