I would love to hear more about this. Where in Hart Co. is it? I now live in Hart.

They are buried in downtown Hart GA, right next to the Jail house. Vickery Rd and a hardware store are right near it. She is in the very front to the left of the entrace to the cemetary. There is a flat large stone grave right behind her and the writing has worn off. I beleive that may be Lemuel but not sure yet. There is a large stone for "Cleveland" in front to the left also. My grandfather was Grover Cleveland Scott. Jane, Lemuels second wife is in the same cemetary as well as the Bobo family and other Scott members. Lemuel was on the first grandjury in hart county.

No. Mary McDaniel Scott did not re-marry after she divorced Lemuel. Lemuel, however, did marry a second time to Jane. All are buried in Northview Cemetery, Hartwell, Hart Co., GA. I descend from Lemuel and Mary's son, Chester Leverette Scott (usually called Chesley).

Hi Cousin!! Nice to hear from you! What documents do you have that show she didn't remarry? Would like to see more of what you have. I have the family group sheet of info that our Couch family found at the court house. I also have document confirmation from another family on our side. I'm a descendant from Lemuel and Mary's son William Wasington Scott (aka W.W.Scott) fyi...I went to the Cemetery and got some pictures...Still can't find Lawson though??

Nice to hear from you, too. It's hard to prove a negative, but I'll give you what I have. I have spent many years researching the Scotts, because my father's maternal great grandfather was Chesley Scott and his paternal great grandmother was Elizabeth Caroline (or Caroline Elizabeth) Scott Vickery.

You will already have found Lemuel and Mary in census records, but let me recap. In 1850, they were living together with their children in Franklin Co. By 1860, they were living apart. Mary, in 1860, lived with minor sons Benjamin and Joseph, next door to Chesley and Eliza Walters Scott. By 1870, Mary Scott was living with her daughter Eliza Mosely and granddaughter, Mary Mosely. In the 1880 census, citizens were asked their marital status, and Mary Scott described herself as "divorced". She died a year later. I cannot prove that she did not marry during that year, but she was advanced in age and, upon her death, was still known in the community as Mary Scott.

Mary McDaniel Scott died July 24, 1881. Her obituary in the Hartwell Sun of July 30, 1881, describes her as Mrs. Mary Scott, age 76. Her will, dated Feb. 3, 1873, was proven Aug. 1, 1881, Hart Co. Will Book A, pages 189-192. It describes her as Mary A. Scott and lists her daughter: E. A. Mosely. Son: Joseph H. Scott. Witnesses: J. H. Skelton, F. C. Stephenson, E. Chapman. Codicil dated April 5, 1878, witnessed by J. O. Bobo, J. M. (or "W") Scott and C. W. Seidell, refers to "my daughter Eliza A. Mosely and my grandchildren, Maud Thornton Scott and Laura Looney Scott.

Virtually, all of my ancestors lived in and around Franklin and Hart counties in the 19th century. Family names include Scott, Crump, Vickery, Walters, McCurley, Baker, Carnes, McMullan, Pinson, Martin, Moulder, Stribling, Looney, and many more. So, I've spent a lot of time poring through census, probate, military, cemetery, and marriage records of northeast Georgia, as well as such contemporary histories as James W. Baker's "History of Hart County". I don't have many sources for the area around Anderson, SC in the first half of the 19th century, other than census and military records. Found Lemuel, his wife (presumably Mary), and children in the 1830 Anderson census, so it seems possible that Mary's parents lived in that part of SC, too.

I was told many years ago by another Scott researcher that Lemuel had a brother named Lawson, but I have never seen any evidence that was true. I have also had no success in identifying Mary Ann McDaniel's ancestors in SC. Would be interested in any information on them that you may have or any new areas of research that seem worth pursuing.

Hey Falconpoint...Let's swap some stuff :) My email is vleigh14@yahoo.com. Stuck in Atlanta right now. Did ya know that our Scott line is from the "Stone Masons" DNA group? Have you found out who Lemuel's father was? Some say it was Robert? I'm stuck on that one for sure. Also, there was a grave right behind Mary that I saw...It was a flat stone and the engraving was worn off...It that Lemuel? I go from Lemuel to W W Scott to Henry Gaines Scott to Grover Cleveland Scott to John Edward Scott (dad). Were the Cleveland's tied in there somewhere cause I can't figure out how old Grover got his middle name and there was a Cleveland site right next to Mary?
