... I suspect an incorrect merge attached these Scott children to the South's -- let's find their proper home!

Here is one reference for Daniel South: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=29891147

Here is one collection of siblings and children for Daniel South's wife Susannah Smith :

Birth: 1762 - Washington Co., MD
Death: Mar 18 1824 - Clermont Co., OH
Parents: Archibald McCoy, Mother McCoy

Siblings: William McCoy, John W. McCoy, James McCoy, Rachel McCoy, Mary Powel (born McCoy), Lavina McCoy, Lydia Elviston (born McCoy), Elizabeth White (born McCoy), Nancy Agnes (Agnes) Blair (born McCoy), Archibald McCoy, Edmund McCoy

Husband: Daniel South

Children: Mary Polly Brunk (born South), Thomas South, Susannah South, Benjamin South, Archibald South, John South, James D. South, Henry South, Elizabeth Stymets (born South)

Patti Kay Gourley -- From the unresolved merge data, it looks like you may have had a Daniel Scott profile with these Scott children ... can you help find where they belong? (I'm not at all meaning to imply you did anything wrong; just that your name was attached a data conflict between Scott & South names, which means somewhere along the way someone apparently incorrectly merge a Daniel Scott profile where you were the primary manager with this Daniel South profile.)

hello, I have gone over my South info and come up with no surname of Scott, I have not completely researched my South line, most of the info I have came from a cousin of my grandmothers who researched my Bain line and attached lines over 40 yrs ago, I have done some research on my South line, all the children of Daniel and Susannah listed above are the same as what is in my database, but no Scotts. Daniel and Susannah are my 6th great grandparents, by the way the Scotts are also showing up on my 5th great grandfathers profile (Thomas South) as siblings,

Thanks for checking, Thomas.

I'm pretty sure it was an incorrect merge which "dragged along" the Scott children ... and would, of course, make them show up as siblings of the South children, too.

Once we find the place to re-attach the Scotts properly, all should be fine.

Your welcome cousin, I wish you luck on finding the merge problem, I have added the children of Daniel and Susannah from the information I have, I will do some more digging myself, good luck
