In
the early records, there are two
Scott
's[i]
in
Virginia
, prior to 1739, they were
Samuel
. and
Robert
Scott
. The
two were brothers. They had settled
in
Orange County
,
Virginia
.
Samuel
was appointed constable on 2 Jun 1739, of
Orange County
,
Virginia
and he took the oath of office the same day (OBK 2, pp 2, 9).
On 22 May 1740,
Samuel
and his brother
Robert
proved their importation in
Orange
County
, securing their right to hold land.
Samuel Scott
Samuel
Scott
came
into Court and made an oath that he had imported himself,
Ann
,
Jane
and
John
Scott
from
Ireland
to
Philadelphia
. He then came from
Philadelphia
to this colony in
Orange County
,
Virginia
.
Robert
also made the same oath providing for himself,
Ann
his wife,
Mary
, Ester and
George
Scott
, also a
Robert
Frazier
from Irland. (OBK 2, pp 158, 159).
Samuel
Scott
was accused of taking two negroes...he was found not guilty. (OBK 2, p. 163).
Samuel
Scott
was ordered by the Court to be overseer of the road from
Scotts
...(OBK 2, p. 238). According to the
Will
of
Samuel
Scott
dated 16 Mar 1748 he owned several slaves, mentioned by name were:
Die (negro
girl-8yrs
old), Bet, Tobee
&
Judea
Received from Rees
Chapman (1/9/06): Samuel
Scott was an appraiser of Isaac Chapman's estate in 1747 in Orange Co, VA.
I am fairly certain he settled in the part of Orange that later became
Culpeper Co, and I wonder if that portion didn't form Rappahannock in 1833.
Samuel & Ann Scott
had (5)
five children:
1. John
Scott
, b.
Ireland
; m. in
Augusta
Co.

Scott

Pennsylvania
; m.

Muncy

Scott
dated 16 Mar 1748 he inherits: 400
acres and a negro girl named Die. (Her

That would place her birth at abt. Feb 1740.)
Jean Scott
