James McClung Scott (1823-1910)
I'm looking for any information I can find on my great-great-grandfather James McClung Scott (1823-1910) and his family.He was apparently an Oregon state senator for two terms.I'm posting here amongst the McClungs because I've run into a dead end on his father's family and I suspect he was named for a McClung grandmother.
James was born in Crawfordsville, IN to James Scott and Mary Marquis Scott.Their eldest, Margaret, married James Cloyd McClung and they have a nice family photo in William McClung's 1904 book between pages 76 and 77.James Scott died in Indiana in 1840 and his family moved on to Dahlonega in Wapello County, Iowa at the same time as the Samuel McClung family (and his son, the aforementioned James Cloyd McClung).
It looks like the Scotts and the McClungs probably intermarried a few times (as did the Paynes, another dead end of mine), and I'm hoping that one of you might have a lead on my Scott ancestors in your notes, possibly even making me a McClung!
Any information you might have would be a huge help!
thank you,
Sam Cattle
