I started to research this about 3 weeks ago,and I found where he died, I think not sure but this is the only one that I found to come close to being Jefferson E. Scott. I found a J. Scott born 6/1817 died in 1882 buried in Old Presbyterian Cemetery in Oktibbeha Co, Mississippi. I even made a copy cause I could not bring it up on Find a Grave.com. So I do have the proof of where he is buried I believe this could be him. I also found in the Mississippi bible Records of several Scotts but Jefferson is not mentioned. I did find a record of sorts but I believe it is a deed record or something like that. I also found the an article of where it told a story about 4 brothers who came from Ireland or Scotland and settled in North Carolina and Massachusetts and then from there to Kentucky, Tennessee, etc. Very interesting reading, but then again no mention of Jefferson. I also found both marriages of Harriett Ervin and Ellen McMurchey to Jefferson but that is really all I found. He married Harriett Ervin on 5-20-1846 in Jefferson Co. Miss. Some records are from Jefferson Co. Ms, but also in Claiborne Co. Ms also. If you want these pages please let me know where to send them. If you can give me a P. O. Box then I can send this to you. But I could not find his parents. I don't know why Jefferson E. Was not mention in the Bible records, if he was born in Kentucky. I went through Kentucky records and Mississippi but there wasn't much there, But I did find some of the children there but not all, I would have to go back to see if I missed anything. I believe they had a daughter named Louisa J. Scott born 1852- 1891 He had also a son Thomas Scott Born 1862, Franklin Scott born 1864- 1935, Emma Oliva Scott born 1868-died 1935, Mary Ellen Scott born 1870 -died 1929, Katie Scott born 1872, Rosena Scott born 1875 -died 1952, Maggie Alexandia Scott born 1877 - died 1960, George Washington Scott born in Jefferson ,Miss 1879- died 1944 Willie Scott born 1880-82, died ? Harriett F. Scott find a grave memorial # 134612494. The Scott Bible that I have is John Stanfield and Philipina Scott Bible. I don't know if bible records will be in Mississippi or Kentucky. And there are a lot of books to go through but I will keep looking and see if I can find it, but it may be that there is no bible record. Just let me know what you want me to do with these pages. smith41
