- Samuel Scott, his wife, JANE, and son, JOHN.
- Later, in 1748, Samuel Scott wrote his will, in Augusta County, listing wife ANN (Ann Oliver), son JOHN, whom he gave 400 acres on Cub Run to (which indicates he was of legal age at the time of the will), and his two infant daughters, Mary and Jean, most likely from his second marriage.
