"Mary Scott, the eldest child and only daughter of Joseph Scott, Sr., was born in County Derry, Ireland, about the year 1734, and, in early womanhood, emigrated with her brothers from her native county, to America. 'She was married sometime in the 60's of the past century, to James Young, of what is now Bart township, Lancaster county, Pa. He lived on the main road leading from Philadelphia to Lancaster, where he kept an inn at which the wagoners stopped on their route. It is not known in what year Mr. Young died, but evidently it was prior to 1780. He was buried in the burying ground of one of the Seceder or Covenanter churches of Bart township. His wife, Mary, afterwards married John Morgan, and with her eight children, came to Western Pennsylvania about the year 1780. Their location, in what is now Allegheny county, seems to have been in the neighborhood of the land settled by the Scotts in Robinson township, and near where the fort (afterwards known as the Cowan Fort) was built by John Peter Beyl, or Bail. 'Mary Scott Young, after her second marriage, was known to the succeeding generation of Youngs as 'Grandmother Morgan.' She died Sept. 21, 1814, aged 80 years, and was buried in the cemetery of Union A. R. church (Union United Presbyterian Church), Robinson township, her grave being marked by a stone which gives her name as 'Mary Morgan.'

He died in Ballymacran, Ireland, after which his children emigrated to America. Although the exact date of their arrival is not known, it was, most probably, between the years 1760 and 1770 --- in colonial days.

They first located in Lancaster county, Pa., and shortly after, with a number of others from the same place, removed to Western Pennsylvania and settled in what is now Allegheny county. Being among the early settlers of the county, they endured the hardships, and were subject to the dangers of pioneer times."

From McGinness and Scott Families and Their Branches - Genealogical Notes by Samuel W. McGinness and Mary R. Ford (1892)

"William Scott, the progenitor of the family with which this genealogy has to deal, was born in Scotland in the latter half of the seventeenth century -- the exact date has not been ascertained. On account of his loyalty to the principles of the 'Church of Scotland' and bitter opposition to Popery, he, with many other families of Covenanter sympathies, in order to enjoy peace and safety, was compelled to leave his native land and find a home elsewhere. He, accordingly, went to the north of Ireland and settled at Ballymacran -- near Newtown Limvady, in the northern part of County Derry. There he laid out a deer park and salmon fishery, as he was a man of considerable wealth -- which, be it remembered, must be judged by the standard of those days, not of the present time.

But few details of his life have come down to us, which is greatly to be regretted. The date of his marriage or the name of his wife has not been learned; nor do we know when or where he died, though it is supposed that, after locating in Ballymacran, he continued to reside there during the remainder of his life, and that he also died there. We have gained knowledge of but one child -- a son, Joseph -- though undoubtedly there were other representatives of the family."

Children of William⁸ Scott and an unknown spouse were:

• 122 i. Joseph⁷ Scott , Sr..
