*there is a slight conflict in birthdates for Nancy. The Caleb bible
states she was born on January 27th and the Scott bible states she was
born on January 21st. It may be accounted for by misreading the
original document. I am taking the Scott bible date as the more
accurate thinking that Nancy would have changed it it it had been
incorrect.
#This is written as Hanson or Alanson in the Scott Bible
record.
Nancy Kirkland was the daughter of Caleb Kirkland who immigrated with
at least two of this brothers and their families to Henry Co., Alabama
from Edgefield Co., South Carolina about 1817. Researchers have long
tried to figure out the relationship of Nancy to the rest of the
Kirkland records. Discovery of the Bible record of Caleb Kirkland
finally resolved the problem. Additionally the Scott bible firmly
establishes the births of Nancy and John's children.
1830- Census records in Henry Co., AL missed the John Scott family.
1840- John Scott family shows in Henry Co., AL
1844- March 5 - William Scott marries Nancy Kirkland in Henry Co.,
AL.
1850 - Census shows a Nancy Scott, a widow, with a four year old
son, William Scott in Henry Co., AL. It is assumed that William Sr.
died shortly after his marriage and that this is his widow and young
son.
