William W. Scott
M, b. between 1787 and 1788, d. after 11 August 1862
| Birth* | between 1787 and 1788 | William W. Scott was born between 1787 and 1788 at Northampton Co, VA.1 |
| Land Division of* | after 22 December 1806 | He was named in a division of land after 22 December 1806 at Northampton Co, VA. There is a land division in the N'hamp survey books which give his four sons as Benjamin, William, George and John. This was the 100 acres he bought from Matthew Harmanson in 1794.2 |
| Will - Brother's* | 10 December 1815 | William was named in his brother's will on 10 December 1815 at Northampton Co, VA. In his will John W. Scott named two daughters Ann Mary and Margaret Elizabeth Scott (under age 14), brothers William W. Scott and Benjamin Scott and a mother Elizabeth Scott.3 |
| Marriage* | 1 July 1819 | He married Nancy 'Annie' Scott, daughter of George (of Baily) Scott Sr. and Sarah 'Sally' Kemp, on 1 July 1819 at Northampton Co, VA. Sarah Scott was the security on the M.L.B. of William W. Scott and Nancy Scott. (NOTE: The proof that Nancy was the daughter of George (of Baily) Scott and his wife Sarah Kemp is based on the assumption that this Sarah Scott was the mother of Nancy Scott. However, Sarah Scott, who outlived Nancy, did not name Nancy's children in her will dated 18 Jan 1839, but her granddaughter Elizabeth A. Dix witnessed her will, and Sarah's son George, who also outlived Nancy, did not name Nancy's children in his will, which seems odd since he did name his deceased brother Thomas' children. It has been suggested that Nancy Scott was the daughter of Benjamin Scott and his wife Sally Nottingham, but after Benjamin Scott died without a will his land was divided between his son Benjamin N. Scott, his daughter Elizabeth N. Scott and his grandson John T.P. Scott, a grandson, the son of his dec'd son John N. Scott, without any mention of a daughter Nancy 'Annie' Scott.)4 |

Nancy 'Annie' Scott b. c 1800, d. 14 Sep 1822 |
| Marriage* | 1 July 1819 | He married Nancy 'Annie' Scott, daughter of George (of Baily) Scott Sr. and Sarah 'Sally' Kemp, on 1 July 1819 at Northampton Co, VA. Sarah Scott was the security on the M.L.B. of William W. Scott and Nancy Scott. (NOTE: The proof that Nancy was the daughter of George (of Baily) Scott and his wife Sarah Kemp is based on the assumption that this Sarah Scott was the mother of Nancy Scott. However, Sarah Scott, who outlived Nancy, did not name Nancy's children in her will dated 18 Jan 1839, but her granddaughter Elizabeth A. Dix witnessed her will, and Sarah's son George, who also outlived Nancy, did not name Nancy's children in his will, which seems odd since he did name his deceased brother Thomas' children. It has been suggested that Nancy Scott was the daughter of Benjamin Scott and his wife Sally Nottingham, but after Benjamin Scott died without a will his land was divided between his son Benjamin N. Scott, his daughter Elizabeth N. Scott and his grandson John T.P. Scott, a grandson, the son of his dec'd son John N. Scott, without any mention of a daughter Nancy 'Annie' Scott.)4 |
