The name Scott is of Scotch or English origin and this family is from all sources available, of Scotch extraction. Owen and Jacob Scott, the progenitors of all the Scotts of our family were evidently born in Pennsylvania. At least they migrated from Pennsylvania to Indiana. Their fathers name is unknown, although from various sources, the name Ruben is associated with him. The brothers, Owen and Jacob, came from Pennsylvania in about 1816 and settled in Whitewater Township, Hamilton County, Ohio, (this date is based on the fact that Daniel Scott, son of Owen Scott was born in Pennsylvania in 1815 and Issac Scott, his next son was born in Hamilton County, Ohio in 1817. From there (Hamilton County, Ohio), they migrated to Rush and Marion Counties, Indiana, respectively. Records show that Owen Scott entered land from the government in Anderson and Richland townships, Rush County in 1821 and 1823; and the will of Jacob Scott is on record in Marion County where he died in 1860, (Will Record C, Page 276). Evidently, he settled in Marion County, Indiana. Owen Scott spent his entire Indiana existence in Rush County, dying there in the village of Richland on January 2, 1865. His birth date is not known nor his burial place, but in all probability, he is buried in Pleasant Run Cemetery, north of Richland. He was married twice. Of his first wife and mother of all of his children, we know nothing. His second wife was Missiah Earlywine. At his death, he owned very little real estate, but his estate was valued at about $6,500. His will and the documents of final settlement of his estate are on file in the Clerks Office in Rushville, Indiana.
