We are descendants of Thomas, sons are Nimrod, John, Jacob, dau Anne m to Ashlock, we believe William others.
Scott's mentioned in the book by Kenneth Scott list five famiies and I suspect at least four are linked. When reading the land
records and tax lists you get a sense of community (family). Would love to have copy of the Wills of all the there in mentioned Scott's.Also have read the deeds for other major names listed here in the Abstracts.

below is SCOTT Abstracts of Deeds for what (much) was old Halifax Co now Pittsylvania Co. VA
