Matt Scott of Ill. states that they may have had 15 children.
Assumed he died in infancy. Information from Twila Lueking, 392 Highway
59, Richmond, Kansas 66080.
Moses, as was Isabella, was assumed to have died young. He was not
mentioned in will, etc., same with Isabella. However, it may be that they
displeased their parents, perhaps by marrying contray to their desires and were disowned.
From Twila, a descendant of Moses, 24 Jan 1993:
My son Curtis Genzer has located a computer at the public library which I can use your tape on until I decide what to do about a computer.
I spoke with Arta Blonshine in Boise, Id. after talking with you, 19 Jan
1993. Her phone # is 208-939-6325. You were certainly right about her being
adamont about Isabella and Moses death.
She will look over the material I sent her and exchange some of hers for
mine, I will see.
Note from Margaret M Engelhardt, 53 Ridge Rd, Bloomingdale, N.J. 07403 had son info on it. Isabella Scott resided in Augusta, Va. in 1777. Does this ring any bells?
