I'm
looking for a book/booklet printed in 1904 in Blackhawk, Indiana. The author is
unknown. It is thought that the title possibly is: "Our Scotts in
America". [I do not know the actual title].
It
is a genealogy beginning with Simon SCOTT who was kidnapped from Scotland in
the mid to late 1700's. Simon landed in the Carolinas where he was bound out to
a family, working as a servant until he reached manhood. Simon lived from about
1742 to approximately 1784. He was married to Mary "Polly". Her last
name was either WATKINS or HARN (possibly HORN or HARNE).
They
had 3 known sons: Jonathan (1778 - 29 Nov 1845), died 8 miles west of
Bloomington, Monroe Co, Indiana [married to Catherine BORDERS, born 3 Mar 1787
in Rowan, North Carolina; died after Feb 1846]; William (born ca 1782); and
Daniel (born ca 1784 probably in South Carolina, died in 1870 in Hamilton Co,
Illinois.)
I
am hoping this book/booklet is in a public library but have been
unsuccessful locating it thus far.Ron Scott
