John Scott Family of Westmorland Co. Virginia
I am looking for information about John Scott of Westmorland Co. Virginia, U.S.A.He married Sarah (Wickers),Cross.She had previously been married to George Cross, and they had a son named George Cross.After George Sr., died, she married John Scott, and they had 2 children named John and Jane Scott.I have John Scott's will, dated 1702.He had 3 plantations, and one he left to wife Sarah, and one to Daughter Jane Scott on Popes Creek, next to George Washington's plantation also on Popes Creek. One of the witnesses on John Scott's will was Nathaniel Pope, and his daughter, Anne Pope married John Washington, Great Grand Father of George Washington.The 3rd plantation went to little John Scott who at age 7 was sent away to go to school in Bristol, England and live with John Sr's brother Gustavus and wife Elizabeth Scott. John Scott had 2 sisters living in Northern Ireland,(They believed.), and 2 brothers that I know of, named James and Galbraith. I believe they had a ship that they hauled their tobacco on to England and other ports, and hauled other things back to America.Little John Scott later came back to America in 1736, and was an Attorney.Any help would be really appreciated.Thank You, Vivien.
