HI,
I READ YOUR THREAD ON YOUR MOM BEING ABONDONED IN THE 1940'S WITH HER SIBLINGS. MY MOTHER WAS A SCOTT TOO. SHE WAS BORN IN 1923 & HER MOTHER LEFT HER WITH MY GRANDFATHER ADAM SCOTT IN ALABAMA. SHE WAS TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER HER MOTHER, SHE HAD SISTERS BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT SHE SAID THEIR NAMES WERE, DON'T KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY BOYS OR IF LUCY HAD OTHER CHILDREN LATER BECAUSE SHE STATES HER BIRTH YEAR AS 1900 - MY GRANDFATHER WAS ONLY 16 BUT HE UPPED HIS AGE ON THE BIRTH CERT SO LUCY'S MIGHT BE WRONG, TOO. WHEN I ORDERED HER BIRTH CERT IN THE MOTHER SPOT IT SAYS LUCY SCOTT WHERE THE MAIDEN NAME SHOULD BE, SAME AS MY GRANDFATHER SO I AM NOT SURE IF SHE WAS AN UNRELATED SCOTT OR BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T WRITE SOMEONE ELSE JUST FILLED IT IN 'SCOTT'. IT ALSO SAYS THERE WERE 3 OTHER CHILDREN ALIVE AT THE TIME MY MOTHER WAS BORN. MY MOTHER DIDN'T KEEP UP WITH HER FAMILY AFTER HER FATHER DIED IN 1960. I KNOW HE WAS BORN IN UNIONTOWN ALABAMA. HIS DAD WAS JOHN HENRY SCOTT & HIS MOM WAS ABBIE PAIGE. I CAN'T FIND TOO MUCH INFO ON THE SCOTT'S. MY GRANDFATHER HAD AN OLDER SISTER WINNIE CROSS & A YOUNGER BROTHER & SISTER LEWIS & JUNNIA MAE SCOTT. MY MOTHER WAS ROSA LEE SCOTT & SHE WAS PARTIALLY RAISED WITH JUNNIA MAE IN THE BIRNINGHAM AREA, THEY WERE ONLY 6 MONTHS APART & LOOKED MORE LIKE SISTERS THAN AN AUNT & NIECE. SCHOOL TIME MY MOTHER LIVED IN WASHINGTON DC WITHHER STEPMOM & HALF BROTHER ADAM SCOTT II. UNCLE LEWIS & GRANDPA BOTH COOKED FOR THE RAILROAD SO THEY COULD HAVE BEEN ANYWHERE FROM THE EAST COAST TO ALABAMA. I THINK IT WAS THE BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD. HE EVENTUALLY LIVED IN WASHINGTON, DC. & WAS VERY WELL OFF BECAUSE WHEN HE DIED WITHOUT A WILL AROUND 1960-61 HE OWNED 3 BIG HOUSES ON OTIS STREET, MY MOTHER'S STEPMOM PEARL CUT HER OUT OF ANY INHERITANCE & MY MOTHER SPLIT FROM THE FAMILY AFTER THAT.
YOUR MOM MAY BE A COUSIN TO MY MOM BECAUSE I HAVE FAMILY HISTORY ONTHE PAIGES BUT NOT MUCH ON THE SCOTT'S. IT'S HARD TO THINK 2 WOMEN WOULD LEAVE THEIR KIDS BUT BOTH OF OUR MOM'S WERE IN THE SAME BOAT. IN THE 40'S MY MOM WAS JUST GETTING OUT OF HIGHSCHOOL. SHE WENT TO COLLEGE FOR NURSING & WAS IN THE MILITARY, BUT I ONLY HAVE AN OLD PICTURE A COUSIN SENT ME OF HER IN A UNIFORM. I CAN'T FIND ANY OTHER RECORDS. E MAIL ME @ LAST5PSALMS@AL.COM

HI, RHONDA,
MY GRANDFATHER WAS ADAM SCOTT I, BORN 1907 IN UNIONTOWN ALABAMA. HIS MOTHER WAS ABBIE PAIGE & HIS DAD WAS JOHN HENRY SCOTT. MY MOM'S MOM WAS LISTED ON MY MOTHER'S BIRTH CERT AS LUCY SCOTT SO NOT SURE IF SHE WAS AN UNRELATED SCOTT OR IF THE MIDWIFE OR WHOMEVER JUST REPEATED THE NAME. I NEVER KNEW HER BECAUSE MY GRANDPA SCOTT SEPARATED & TOOK MY MOTHER WITH HIM AT AN EARLY AGE. MY MOTHER HAD OTHER SIBLINGS AT THE TIME SHE WAS BORN IN 1923 3 ARE STATED AS ALIVE ON HER BIRTH CERT., BUT SINCE MY GRANDFATHER WAS SO YOUNG WHEN MY MOM WAS BORN (16) I DOUBT THE OTHER SIBLINGS WERE HIS & LUCY'S. SHE MAY HAVE BEEN AN OLDER LADY & HAD THEM WHEN SHE MET MY GRANDPA. THE BIRTH CERT ALSO SAYS THEY WERE MARRIED BUT I CAN'T FIND ANY HISTORY TO CONFIRM THAT. I AM SEARCHING TOO SO IF YOU HAVE INFO I WOULD LOVE TO SHARE. MY GRANDFATHER DIED IN WASHINGTON DC AROUND 1960-61. HE HAD A SECOND COMMON-LAW WIFE PEARL WHO HAD ONE SON ADAM SCOTT II. ADAM SCOTT II HAD 2 SONS & A DAUGHTER. I REMEMBER MEETING THEM A FEW TIMES WHEN WE WENT TO DC AS KIDS. ADAM SCOTT III, AARON WERE THE BOYS & ADRIANNE (NOT SURE OF HER NAME). I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM SINCE THE 70'S. THE LAST TIME I SPOKE TO MY UNCLE WAS WHEN MY MOTHER DIED IN 1980 BUT HE WASN'T INTERESTED IN TALKING TO ME. MY MOM SPLIT FROM THE FAMILY AFTER MY GRANDPA DIED BECAUSE HER STEPMOM CUT HER OFF FROM HER INHERITANCE. I WAS 29 BEFORE I STARTED GETTING IN TOUCH WITH HER FAMILY ON HER GRANDMA'S SIDE, GRANDPA SCOTT'S MOM MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER'S SIDE, THE PAIGES THERE WERE 9 GIRLS & WE ARE STILL FINDING SONS, NOT THE SCOTT'S SIDE. E MAIL ME AT LAST5PSALMS@AOL.COM. WE CAN TRADE INFO.

Hi.. My maternal family last name is Scott...meaning my mothers maiden name is Scott... they mainly lived in North Carolina but some came to the Washington DC Area

Now it looks like we have some hope. My paternal family is originally from North Carolina. Let's see if we can make a match. I don't have my tree in front of me as I am at work. Let's talk directly. My email is rmosley@rhondamosley.com.

Where in North Carolina are your folks from? How far back have you traced your family from North Carolina? Who is at the top of your Scott Family tree in North Carolina. I am getting excited because I've been hitting this brick wall for over 14 years now. Finally, someone has an African American Scott in North Carolina

I don't have any Scotts in my maternal or paternal family tree, but I do have siblings who have Scotts in their direct family tree from Washington, D.C. and Maryland, don't know any North Carolina connections yet. These Scotts married into the Simms family.

I also know of Scotts who live in Oklahoma.

Don't know if any of this helps or not...hope there is a connection

Actually, yes this does help because I have a missing branch who went to the east coast including Virginia, Maryland and D.C. I came across them once, but we lost touch. Would you mind sending me some information on them so I can get them documented? If you don't want to post here, you can contact me directly at rmosley@rhondamosley.com.

Thanks a bunch.

My cousin married into a Scott family from Georgia. Her husband was Maceo Theodore Scott. I have his family tree connected to mine. Contact me here or at desertdragon11111@yahoo.com

I'm adopted but originally my birth mothers last name was Scott .

Hello. I'm on vacation at the moment and don't have access to my family research but if you would send me your mom's info -- name, birth date, death date (if applicable), brothers, sisters, grandmother's name, etc. I can look up her info when I get back home next week. If you don't want to post it here, please feel free to send it directly to my email at rmosley@rhondamosley.com or to rmosley82@sbcglobal.net. I'll receive it from either one.

I'm happy to help you with a look up or two if you need it as well. I'm sure if we all research our backgrounds as far as back as possible -- especially those of us with ancestral roots in North or South Carolina, we may very well either find that our ancestors lived on the same plantation and/or are related in some way.

Thanks for your inquiry. I am excited and hope to find a link or two.
