Mrs. Geo. P. Downey looking for her sisters Dollie and Faithy Scott
INFORMATION WANTED.--
Of Dollie and Faithy Scott, (their
names before their marriage),
daughters of Hubbard Scott, had
sisters Dicia, Mary and Betsy, and
an only brother, who left North
Carolina and came to Indiana be-
fore the war. I am Hardy Scott's
youngest daughter. My mother
was Frances Evans, commonly
called Fannie; my grand mother
was Julia Evans. All came from
the same place or thereabouts in
North Carolina, if I am not mis-
taken, I think Greeneboro, Guilford
Co., near Raleigh. Your paper is
so well distributed I think if I
say North Carolina and designate
no place, it will not be amiss. I am
very anxious to find out about my
people: the older ones of the fam-
ily always heard from the ones left
behind before the war, but never
have had a word since. Mrs. Geo.

"Dollie" Scott married Malan Wallace in Greensboro on August 18, 1831. Dolly was born around 1810 and the last probable census for her was in 1880. It is unknown if she was still alive at the time the ad ran. No records were located for "Faithy." Hardy Scott, his father Hubbard and some other members of the Scott family were found on an 1850 census living in Anderson, Indiana.
Lacresa's husband George P Scott, a blacksmith, was found in a Denver 1897 city directory and a 1900 and 1910 census. She was found on a 1900 census separate from her husband George on a 1900 census.
