Lettice Russell was not born in Buncombe Co North Carolina, Buncombe was not formed until 1791 and Lettice was born in 1757 thatabouts. Another thing her parents were not Joseph Russell and Elizabeth Penn this is made up fron the 1950's bad research on the Scotts and Russells and is simple incorrect.

The best Source we have for Lettice Russell's father is William Russell who came to North Carolina with Samuel Scott and Mary Jones from PG Maryland.

William Russell married Thomas Scott's sister Rachel Scott and from the research and very limited records William Russell had a first wife and had children Isaac, Benjamin and Lettice Russell, Wiliam 1st wife died and William married Rachel Scott and had 8 more children. No where in any records in Burke/ Wilkes or anywhere has the name Joseph Russell and Elizabeth Penn been found.

this is the same bad research that Thomas Scott parents were John Scott an Margaret Thorton and we know this is incorrect per very good research on John and Margaret, who did have a son Thomas Scott b/ 1754 and was at the Battle of Kings Mountain, just like our Thomas Scott.

Thomas Scott b/ 1754 had two brothers at Kings Mountain William and Samuel. There were at list 10 Scotts at Battle of Kings Mountain not related.

Our Thomas Scott was prob. only about 15 when his parents came to North Carolina and where in Rowan Co NC by 1770.

They did not buy land until 1778 in Rowan/ Burke and as the County lines changed in Burke Co not formed until 1777 from Rowan.

From very good research and with very good Sources, Court Records land deeds we can say without Question that the parents of Thomas Scott born July 19, 1755 in Prince Co Maryland not Cecil Co Maryland were Samuel Scott and Mary Jones.

His brothers were Nathan Scott m/ Sarah Hereford, Samuel Scott, Jr., married Hannnah Phillip, Richard Scott, settled in Wilson Tennessee, Jemima Scott, Rachel Scott married William Russell from records must have been William second wife. Believe William Russell had fisrt wife because of land deeds and tax list with Benjamin and Isaac Russell were his sons.

This Scott line can be proven from
  • William Scott b/ 1672 married Mary Lucas daughter of Thomas Lucas and Elizabeth
  • had Daughter Mary b/ 1700 PG Maryland
  • had son Thomas Scott b/ 1702 PG Maryland married Elizabeth Prather daughter of John Prather and Catherine
  • son William Scott b/ 1704 married Mary stayed in Maryland and very good research on his children from his Will died in 1752
  • Thomas Scott born 1702 had son Samuel Scott b/ 1728 married Mary Jones, daughter of Richard Jones, son of Thomas Jones of AA Maryland.
  • Abouut 1766 Samuel Scott was selling land that his father Thomas owned that he recieved from his father William. Samuel sold this land to Thomas Beall and his cousin Zach Scott and William Scott his brother b/ 1730.
  • Between 1766-1770 Samuel Scott with the Russell family came to North Carolina and had brought a slave boy Adam to North Carolina, a son of Priss that was given to Mary Jones in abt 1755 from her father Richard Jones. Adam suited for his freedom per Court Records in Morgonton NC.
  • 1788-89.The Court Records clearly places Thomas Scott as son of Samuel and Mary Jones Scott, and Rachel as husband of William Russell. Henry Hereford was mentioned in the Court Records and was the father-in-law to Nathan Scott, son of Samuel Scott and Mary Jones.
