I wish I could find out who this Marie
Watt belongs to. Who was her father? Which
Watt family group does she come from? It could help me with a brick wall on my
SCOUT family.
The Lycoming Chronicle Wednesday Publication Published by Alexander
Cummings, Jr. Williamsport, PA 16 Jan. 1833-25 Jan. 1837
7 Jan. 1835. John
SCOUT to Miss Maria
Watt, both of
Mifflin Twp., on Thursday last, by P. Vanderbelt, Esq.
I later find a John
SCOUT household in
Mifflin Township,
Lycoming County, PA in 1850 Census (pg 295) with John
SCOUT, age 36 (would be born then about 1814) and a "
Margary"
SCOUT, age 40 with children and others. Are Marie and
Margary the same woman?
Young perople in this household on this census in order of appearance are Maria (P. or J. - maybe ???) Scout, age 14; William
SCOUT, age 13; James L. Scout, age 7; Mary A. Scout, age 2. There is a male, Anthony
SCOUT, age 40 occupation laborer in the household, and another male Andrew ??? last name is impossible to transcribe because census taker handwriting is so poor. It ends with "ic". He is age 56, occupation laborer. Everybody is born in PA.
If anyone can recognize this Marie
Watt and can help me to ID which family she comes from, please feel free to email me. I appreciate any clues.
Best regards,
Virginia
