Update on William Hazelton Scott [8 June 2012]

Scott,

Just noticed your comments from last year about William Hazelton Scott. No progress to report yet, but you might be interested to know that there is a group of people working to solve the problem through DNA. There is a WeRelate page, Scott DNA Family in Georgia, Maryland, and North Carolina, that you might be interested in.

For the first time in a long time I'm actually feeling a bit like we might find something. For one thing, I have found another Hasleton family, this one in Wilmington, which needs investigation. For another, there are apparently both Scotts and Covingtons who migrated from Queen Anne's County, Maryland to Anson County, North Carolina, to Washington County, Georgia in the right time frame to be the parents of the William Scott who shows up in Cecil County, Maryland in 1850 and is somehow related to William Hazelton Scott, and would help to tie the DNA people together. At least a new and different avenue of research.

I know this isn't your direct line, and both the DNA page and William Hazelton Scott's need updating, but check back in a year or two and we may actually have some answers! (Or not.)--GayelKnott 18:45, 8 June 2012 (EDT)
