Margaret Meadows, Spartanburg, SC b@1810
Hello.Hope there is someone out there who can tell me anything about the ancestors of my 4g grandmother Margaret Meadows.She was married to John D. Scott, who was born in 1810 in Spartanburg co, SC. I think she could not have been much younger, since her eldest child was born in 1829.She also had a sister Diana, who married John Scott's brother James Oliver Scott.The father of John and James Scott, Talliaferro Scott, had come to the Switzer area from Culpeper county, VA.The Scott family did not all remain long in South Carolina, since by the 1850 census, John and Margaret, among others, were living in Gordon co, VA.
Their oldest son William M. Scott was born in Switzer, SC in 1829 and ended up in Tazewell co, VA on the 1870 census.What has always puzzled me is how his son Jacob Bishop Scott married a girl from Ashe county, NC sometime around 1875 and reported his place of birth on censuses as either NC or VA.
I have scanned the forum and there are alotof very knowledgeable Meadows researchers out there so I'm hoping someone has the answers, or some clues perhaps, to my Margaret Meadows' ancestry.
Thank you!
