Ward | 18 Jan 1814 | Samuel's father died when Samuel and his siblings were quite young. In January 1814 John Kelly was appointed guardian of Samuel and his brother William. John posted a bond in the amount of $300 with Moses Edmiston as his security.2 |
Moses Edmiston had married Samuel's widowed mother in 1809.3 | ||
Ward | 18 Jun 1816 | Two years later Samuel McGinnis was appointed guardian of Samuel and William.4 |
Legatee | 24 Dec 1825 | Samuel's brother John wrote his will in late 1825. He left Samuel and his brothers Robert and William his share in a small tract of land lying on the Middle Fork of the Holston River as well as a share of the debt owed John from his cousin Samuel Scott.1 |
Care must be taken to distinguish the two Samuel Scott cousins, who were no doubt of about the same age. |
