• Notes

  James M. Scott is tentatively identifed as the son of James Scott and Polly Rice. Polly Rice was the daughter of William H. Rice and had a sister named Rebecca, who married Zachariah Neal. Zachariah Neal made a will dated 17 Oct. 1849, which was proved in April 1850. Stephen Neal, the son of Zachariah Neal, and Rebecca Rice are living in the household of James Scott in the 1850 census. If the assumption is correct, then Stephen Neal is James Scott’s first cousin. 1850 Caswell Co., North Carolina Census, Roll M432_623, p. 209. A James M. Scott is on the list of insolvents for 1854.
