Thomas Scott was born about 1730, was it in Virginia, we are not sure?
Thomas Scott married Lurana/ Susana (Payne? ).
They had several children. As to who is oldest and youngest is not yet known by myself.
Kenneth Scott spent many years tracking down our family. He missed Thomas's Will because of boundary changes and county being changed with Pittsylvania being added. Of that, I am sure.
He did such a great research of the family for the time frame and computers lacking.

From the History of John Scott 1761-1843 by Kenneth Scott.......John, Jacob and nephew Allen Clement Scott (son of Nimrod,Sr.) along w/wife and his sister, Sallie married to William Scott, came in the same wagon train to their new home in Kentucky. Nimrod, Sr. followed 1817-1820. This group of Scotts were in the south central section of the county and were spread early north from the state line along Kettle Creek and on Pearidge up to at least Galloway Creek. This group of Scotts by far have the largest number of descendants in the Cumberland County, Kentucky area.
I would also add that John and Jacob's immediate family members were included in this wagon train, since all records indicate such.
