In a letter from Opal Lousin, Sept. 1989... "Daniel Huff, born c1720,
Burlington Co., N.J. married 3 mo. 4th day 1741, died 1793 in Stokes Co., N.C. m. Mary Worley. Daniel Huff was the son of Daniel Huff was the son of Daniel Huff b. 4 mo. 14 day 1693 in Bucks Co., Penn. and died 1751 Burlington Co., N.J. This Daniel was the son of John Hough who was born about 1660 in Nantwich, Cheshire, England and died 1732 in Bucks Co., Penn. and m. Hannah.
This information was given me by reliable source through lots of research
and I will accept it until better is found. John Hough of Hough, in the county of Chester, yeoman and Hannah, his wife arrived in this river in the 9th mo. 1683 in the ship, "Friendship" of Liverpool, the Master Robert Crossman with child John Hough, their child and servants George Glaire and isabel, his wife, to serve 4 years; George Glaire, their child till 21; and Nathaniel Watmough & Thomas Hough to serve 4 years each. This statement about the migration is from "Emigrants to Pennsylvania" by Tepper.
I understand from my source that this Thomas Hough was probably not related to John Hough but that is not important. The river was, of course, the Delaware."Daniel married first to Mary Worley, secondly to Ann Pike. See Stokes

There were four of the children by Mary and four by Ann Pike.Betty Holmes of Fallon, Nev. has that Daniel was born about 1711 in New

According to Davis Book, age 916, Daniel Dr. was born 4-14-1693, Bucks Co., Pa. No references given. Information form Opal Lousin and Betty Holmes gave the date as 1691 in N.J. I will give the date as 1693, as that is a complete date, and until I have documentation, will suppose that the full date may be more correct and based on some documentation.
See page 572 of Sumner Family History by George W. Moore. Gives birth dates as 1691 in N.J. and died in 1751 in N.J.
Daniel and Elizabeth moved to Surry Co., N.C. where he used the name of
Huff.

From a letter between Opal and Betty Holmes, to Opal, June 2, 1985.
"Further on the Scott line, the fact that John Scott married Nancy Keith
interests me. My ancestor Zebina Bathrick married Amanda Keith. I made a good conncetion during the last few months and now know the Keith line back to James Keith who emigrated to Mass. c 1660 from Aberdeen, Scotland. I believe that there is also a Keith line extends from Va. that may be the one that Nancy descends from. I am reading one of your letters to me as I write and now see further of the Keith line.
I have ordered Vol. 4, 5, & 6 of the Cain Connections. Have you seen them. (She goes on to mention that she had several transcriptions of wills of the Clifton, Anderson and Cain lines from Delaware.)"

ARTA BLONSHINE, 12184 West Hickory Dr., Boise,Id. 83704. rcvd 5 May 1991.JOHN WILSON SCOTT ---- REV. WAR SOLDIER
Contributed by Dorothy Strange Martin and Marie Strange, both descnedents of John Wilson ScottFrom the time John Wilson Scott was born in York Co., Penn. in 1763 to the time of his death on 13 March 1847 in DeWitt County, Ill. he had fought in the Rev. War, been married twice, lived in six states and fathered 15 children.
He was of Scottish ancestry, the son of John and Anna Scott, who owned land on the Holston River in Washington County, Va. His grandfather, was Andrew Scott, whose will was proved 29 Jan 1794, Colerain Township, Lancaster Co., Penn.
Family tradition says that John Wilson Scott's first marriage was to Ann
Crayton (or Clayton) and that their daughter, Elizabeth, married John Matson
(or Maston). Nothing else is know of this line.
His second marriage was to Nancy Keith, dau. of Daniel Keith and Elizabeth Liddell, about the year 1786. It is easy to trace the migration of this family of John and Nancy Keith Scott by noting the birthplace of their children. ..with the change of county boundry lines they became citizens of DeWitt Co. in 1839; all without having moved from the land they had located on in present day Wapella Township.
John Wilson Scott saw his sons become productive citizens. They were
farmers. James Keith Scott made one of the first land entries in what is now
DeWitt Co., when he located in section 27, Waynesville Township. John Jr.,
James K., Martin, and Andrew were ministers of the Christian Church. James K. preached the first sermon in the township in the cabin of one of the settlers. Later he helped establish the first church, Rock Creek. Built in 1837, it was the first frame building in Waynesville Twnsp. The lumber for it was hauled from Atlanta, Ill. James K. Scott also served as a State Legislator for two terms (1842-1846).
The final resting place for John Wilson Scott, his wife, and several of his children and other descendants is in Rock Creek Cemetery, located in section 26, Waynesville Twnsp. On 3 December 1970, the DeWitt Clinton Chapter D.A.R. placed a marker on the grave of the old soldier. Twelve members of the chapter have traced their lineage to him. One of the many descendatns of the soldier, Abbie Lane Whitaker, wrote a play, "Out Beyond Middletown", which described the life of the early Scott pioneers in the Waynesville area. The play won the one act play competition sponsored by the Arts Committee of Illinois Sesquicentenial Commission in 1968.There is another John Scott who we looked at as possible parent of
Isabella, but nothing close.

I think we can safley assume that John Wilson Scott was the father of
Isabella Scott who married Abijah Bray about 1817-1818 in or about Orange Co., Ind. Unless they had married in Madison Co., Ky. The circumstantial evidence is so very strong. Because of that assumption now we can proceed to get the death records, Wills, and any informatin about their ancestors arrival in America and their travels through America to Indiana and Illinois.
There is information about Wilson from Scotland/Ireland to Pennsylvania in "Colonial Families of America, Vol 22, pg. 59 and also in Story or Decalaration of Independence, Vol 8, pg. 159 and 166. This may apply.
John Scott married once and had a daughter, Elizabeth, his first wife Ann
Crayton died and he then married Nancy Keith...."This looks like it was the correct census for 1820 for John Scott - p. 006;
1 male under 10, 1 male 10-15, 1 male over 45
1 female 10-15, 1 female over 45.
Found in Crawford Co., Indiana. Also in Crawford Co., Indiana were shown Martin, Andrew, John, Wilson, William C. and William L."......"John Wilson Scott had three or four sons to become ministers in the
Christian Church in Illinois. They stared the Pilot Christian Church. I
attempted to get more information about them from the headquarters of the
Christian Church but couldn't get through for some reason - lack of address or? They served in the 1840's or thereabouts. They were John Jr., James K., Martin and Andrew."......"In York CO., Pa. the Historical Society, address unknown to me, may
have an index of family files for John Wilson Scott b. 29 May 1763, son of John Scott who was the executor of Andrew Scott's will. I do not think, as the Illinois Scott people do, that our John Scott or his won father, was the
executor of the Will. One should see the Scott report #67 file 3348 in York
Co., Hisotrical Society. To be an executor of Andrew Scott's will he would
have more likely stayed in York Co., Pa. See information and dates herewith.
Andrew Scott died in Colerain Twp., Lancaster Co., Penn. Copy of will
herewith, recorded in Bk. KK p. 696, 7th day of Dec 1796, made 29 Jan 1794.
We, of course, would like to know the siblings of John Wilson Scott also. Our John Wilson Scott was supposed to have gone with his family to Washington Co., Va. when he was very young. I wish we could find our what happened and when the other children of John Wilson Scott, Moses, Patsy and Nancy at least.
John Wilson Scott, claim S32509, was residing in Washington Co., Va. when he enlisted in May 1780 and served 12 months as a private in Capt. Dysart's Company; in William Campbell's Virginia Regiment and was in the battles of King's Mountain and Wetzell's Mills. He was allowed pension on his application executed 3 Dec. 1832 while a resident of Kickapoo Precinct, McLean Co., Ill. Several ladies downstate have become members of the DAR on his record. He was a mounted volunteer. His pension was paid for some time as evidenced in Book C, Vol 8, p. 62, #19926.1787 Census of Virginia: p. 963 of Census report, John Scott charged with tax on 3 horses, 16 cattle, and one white male over 16 (self responsible) and under 21, in Washington Co. (this census was taken on 30 May 1787, when he was visited for the information). The 1787 tax list is a unique one. It is the result of a law passed by Virginia Assembly on the 11th of Oct. 1786 which mandated that the tax commissioner should "on the tenth day of March annually, begin and continue proceeding without delay through their respective district, and call on every person subjedt to taxation or having property in his or her possession for a written list thereof..." The tax on white males aged 21 years old and up was repealed on the 12th of October 1787... White males between sixteen and twenty-one were subject to a county parish tithe, but not to the state poll tax.

John moved from Yok Co., Penn., to Washington Co., Virginia, with his
parents. From Washington Co. he enlisted May 1780 as a private in Capt. James Dysart's Company of Col. William Campbell's Virginia Regiment.
The account of John's military service, in his own words follows. Briefly, the Company first marched to Wilk's Connty, N.C., where they took British prisoners. With the cease of hostilities in that area they returned toVirginia arriving the end of July 1780. Early in August they received orders to march in pursuit of the (British) Col. Ferguson and his company. They reached N.C., (area which is now East Tennessee) where they were joined by more troops commanded by Col. Seveir and Col. Isaac Shelby. On the march again they passed over the mountains and through Rutherford County and down the South side of Broad River to the Cowpens. They marched on, all night with no food, to King's Mountain. There, 6/7 October 1780, a battle was fought and won, but many lives lost. John and others of the Company then made their way North, reaching home the end of November 1780. The Company marced again 1 February 1781 to participate in the Battle of Wetzel's Mill on 6 march 1781. There John lost his horse, saddle and bridle valued at $60. It took him till May 1st to make his way home, 300 miles on foot. His total military service was one year.
In 1783 John married Ann or Anna Crayton, one child, Elizabeth, was born
the following year and Ann died at, or shortly after, the birth.
Around 1785 John was in the 96 District of S. Carolina, the area lies
South of Wilkes and Rutherford Counties, No. Carolina, where his military
experiences had taken him. After his second marriage to Nancy Keith they
settled in what was later to become (in 1826) Anderson Co., S.C., but at that
time was land recently vacated by the Cherokee Indians. There is some doubt as to wherther John & Nancy's first child, Andrew, was born in S.C., some accounts showing N.C. When John applied for his pention is stated that he moved from Virginia to So. Carolina, there is no mention of having lived in N.C. In view of this and was Nancy's family were in S.C., it is unlikely they ever lived in No. Carolina.
However, in 1806 the family did move, to Jackson County, Tennessee.
Perhaps while there they met the Franciscos not realizing their grandson Andrew Vinson, years later in Illinois, would marry Rhoda Cisco. From Tennessee John and Nancy took their family to Crwford County, Indiana. That move was in 1818 but they didn't stay long, by 1824 they were heading for Central Illinois.
Their first Illinois home was Island Grove, Sangamon Co. Andrew, teh
oldest son, stayed in that area but the rest of the family moved on to another part of the County which in 1827 became Tazewell County. In 1830 McLean County was formed from that part of Tazewell and, finally, in 1839 DeWitt County formed from McLean. The area where John and Nancy lived became Waynesville Twp, DeWitt Co.
John applied for his pension 3 Dec 1832, when his home was part of Kickappo Pricinct, McLean Co. Minister James Latter and John Clenn, Esq: testified as to his, John's character. His pension was granted 25 September 1833 for $50 p.m., and backdated to 4 March 1831. Nancy died first in 1838, John following her in 1847. They both practiced the Presbyterian religion of their Scotch - Irish forebears.REVOLUTIONARY WAR PENSION APPLICATION of JOHN SCOTT

Alternate name found in GEDCOM file: John Scott, Sr.
Death date is taken from notes as to the time that his will was proven.
Confused by different submissions of John and Joseph, John is the record we
have info on. Must separte, perhaps brothers or just confusion of name. AFN: 8SHH-FR LDS Records.He was also reported to have died in Washington Co., VA.
Daniel sold his land on Devil's Fork Creek in Pendelton Feb. 4, 1806, and
headed west with other members of his family.Opal Lousin, 3 Dec 1992. ..."In the book of Census for 1800 Pendelton
District, S.C. p. 104, item #205 - Daniel Keith, Jr. was male 16-25, with
child (female) under 10 and female 16-25;Item #206 - Daniel Keith, Sr. 1 male 16-25, and one over 45; 1 female
10-16, and one female over 45;Pg. 105 Item #251 - Alexander Keith - 3 males under 10, one male 25-45; 1 female 10-16, 1 female 16-25.
Item #255 - John Scott 3 males under 10, 3 males 10-16, 1 male 26-45; 2 females under 10, 1 female 26-45 (This looks much like it may be ours)."...
..."From information regarding the Keith, Glenn and Liddle families, we can now get death certificates possibly, and wills for Daniel Keith and William Liddell at least?
The Scott family married into the Keith, Glenn and Liddle families. One
married into married into the Gaily so I have given that information. Also
McCollisters got involved.
P. 97, item #80 - John Glenn; item #82 Moses Liddle census had one male
under 10, 2 males 10-16, one male over 45; 4 females under 10, one female
10-16; one from 26-45 and 1 over 45 with 9 slaves; "........"I think Daniel Keith's Will will be found in Franklin Co., Tenn. He
was born c1740, married Elizabeth Liddell b. c 1745 and died soon after they
moved to Franklin Co., Tenn. They had:
1) Ruth b, 1762 m. William Liddell
2) Alexander m. Sarah Galey
3) Nancy m. John Scott
4) James
5) Martha m. Robert Clare
6) Daniel
7) Andrew
8) Elizabeth m. Thomas Morrow
9) Mary m. Thomas _______
10) Esther m. William Brazleton(Verify this vs. any zeroxed information). They may have been in Gwinnett
Co., Ga. but more likely in Anderson Co., S.C. We need to know where the Scottfamily lived when the children were born, particularly to include Isabella as I think she was born c1800 in S.C. The records in the book are more correct than those of the descendants. I do not believe the family lived in Jackson Co., Tenn. but lived in S.C., then possibly Giles Co., Tenn. A lot needs to be done in this connection."...Following is information on Cornelius Keith, perhaps a brother to our
Daniel. There is also an Alexander Keith who also may have been a brother.Enumeration of 1800 Census reocrd, Pendleton District, S.C.
Cornelius Keith, Sr., was born in 1743, died 13 June 1820 and is buried in Oolenoy church yard in Pickens County, S.C. His wife mary LaFoom (Laffoon?) Keith was born 1749, died 13 Feb. 1846. Cornelius Keith, Jr., was born 14 May 1786, died 26 Nov. 1848. His wife, Nancy, was born 24 June 1788, died 1 March 1863. Cornelius, Sr., was of a family living on the Roanoke River in Brunswick Coutny in 1734, and found in various places in southern Virginia; he himself, moved form Surry Co., N.C. to Pendleton District probably about 1795, along with a number of others from that area. He wrote a will 19 May 1820, which was not filed for many years (Pack 183, Equityé, Pickens County). His children were John, George, William L., James, Allen, Mary (married Amos Sutherland), Sarah (married William Sutherland), Rebecca (married Jospeh B. Reid), Eady (married Alfred Hester), Cornelius. Cornelius Keith, Sr., probably went to South Carolina shortly after he sold land in 1795 in Patrick, now Grayson Co., Va., to Nathaniel Stewart. Some of this Stewart family and several Keiths, probably realted to Cornelius, removed to Greenville District, S.C. Daniel and Alexander Keith were enumerated in Pendleton District in 1790 and James Keith sold, 24 Sept 1792 to James and Andrew Holland, land on Big Beaverdam Creek in what is now Anderson County, with Daniel Keith as a witness.
