Possibly buried in the Urmery Goss Cem?

URMERY & GOSS CEMETERY, page 38, Jackson Twp. Cemeteries Located in NE 1/4, Section 6, T1S, R5E. (12.3 miles from the Courthouse) Directions: From the Courthouse, go south on South Main St. go 0.5 miles to the intersection of SR 60, turn left, go 9.7 miles to the intersection of Voyles Road, turn right, go 1.6 miles to the intersection of Newlon/Gray Road, turn left go 0.4 miles to a drive way on the right, turn right, follow the drive, 0.1 miles to the residence. The Urmery Cemetery is located southeast of the residence, approximately 75 yards. It has a stone fence. This cemetery is on private land, ask at the house.

Robert Scott household, 1820 U.S. census, Washington County, Indiana, No Township Listed, stamped page 223 or unstamped page 327, line 8; National Archives micropublication M33, roll 14: (The second named “Robert Scott” in Section 1, near Martinsburg, Indiana): Robert Scott, age 26 to 44, wife, age 26 to 44, 2 sons under 10, 1 daughter under 10. This Robert Scott lived north of Martinsburg, Washington County, Indiana, according to his deed history.[74] He married Susannah Urmy, daughter of Jacob Urmy.[75] Robert Scott died 7 February 1828.[76] His burial was located in Jackson Township, Scott Graveyard where his monument stone indicated that he died 1828, age 46, born 1782; his wife, Susannah Urmy Scott was buried next to him and her monument stone indicated that she died 1830, 34 years old, born 1796. One other burial stone in the Scott Graveyard was that of Mary Phillips, died 13 January1839, 66 years old, born 1773.[77

The Scott Graveyard was located on an old road going east across bottom lands and connected with the Pekin - Greenville Road which today is known as Voyles Road. Grace S. Marks wrote: “In 1941, the road east was virtually discontinued. Frederick Phillips first entered land in Section 1 and was presumably related to Mary Phillips. Pieces of decayed wood were scattered about the hillside of the graveyard as though there must have been an old building there at sometime. A Dunkard Church was believed to be in this locality or it may have been the home of the Scotts or Phillips families.”

Susannah Urmy Scott was listed in the 1830 Washington County Census: 2 males under 5; 2 males 5-9, 3 males 10-14, 1 female 10-14, Susannah Scott 30-39. She lived near her father Jacob Urmery[78] who was still alive in 1830 census. Jacob Urmery died August, 1831. The estate of deceased Robert and deceased Susannah Scott’s probate records[79] named their children as follows: Jeremiah Scott, Nathan Scott, Hester Scott, James Scott, David Scott, Cyrus Scott, and Washington Scott. Jeremiah Scott and Nathan Scott being over 14 years of age made their choice of guardian, Jonathan Urmy, who was the brother of their mother, Susannah Scott. It is presumed that when Jeremiah and Nathan Scott made their choice of guardianship that the other children were placed under the care of Jonathan Urmy, too, though they were not old enough to choose a guardian. The probate record, however, did not include them by name as being under Jonathan Urmy’s guardianship.

Jacob Urmy's sons, Anderson & Jacob Urmy, relocated to Jackson County, Indiana. They both were in 1840 Jackson County, Salt Creek Township Census, living near Freetown, Indiana. Jacob Urmery, Jr. resided in Salt Creek Township near Dorris G. Scott's family, the son of Robert Scott. According to the 1830 Washington County census, Dorris G. Scott and Jacob Urmy, Jr. were close neighbors in the Martinsburg, Indiana settlement and were also close neighbors at Freetown, Indiana.

In the 1860 Washington County Census, Jackson Township, Household # 305, James Urmey, 43, born Virginia; wife Susannah, 45, born Virginia; and all 6 children were born in Indiana (19 thru 4 years of age). Robert Scott and wife Susannah Urmy and her father Jacob Urmy moved from Botetourt County, Virgnia to Indiana sometime after 15 December 1814.

Wesley G. Scott’s memoirs mentioned that Robert Scott, the brother of Archelaus Scott, came from Richmond, Virginia before coming to Kentucky. The Robert Scott that married Susannah Urmy was not the brother of Archelaus Scott.

It is ironic that Robert and Susannah Urmy Scott settled near Martinsburg, Indiana at the same time and in the same neighborhoods of Archelaus Scott along with his sons, David and Harmon Scott. However, they weren't brothers...not sure if they were related.

Robert Scott, oldest son of Nathan Scott and Sarah (Poage) Scott was born in 1782 in Botetourt County, Virginia. He married Susanna Urmy on 15 December 1814 in Botetourt County, Virginia. [7]
