Williams - Scott Cemetery, 37-1 Summary Report, page 7

The 1820 census for Madison County was lost and is not in existence today, so it cannot be checked. Likewise, there is no 1810 census, as the area was not a state at that time. There was a January 1809 territorial census, but there is no entry in it for a Thomas Scott. As a last resort, the 1850 census was also checked, and there was a Thomas A. Scott listed that seems to approximately “fit”: 1 II. d TW Nam af raary Pmca aaaai ftm "?f abaia aa Ma Ara 4"?jr a* faaa, IMAA, vaa ia Mi MaaJy. > i hi i Piafcaa.a.

The above Thomas A. Scott was listed as age 57 in 1850. That would make him age 37 in the 1830 census, but that record showed Thomas A. Scott as aged 40 - 50. Still, the discrepancy is small, so it is likely that the 1850 and the 1830 listings are for the same man. He must have been missed by the census takers in the 1840 exercise. The Thomas Scott of 1850 is not living in the area near the cemetery, as his is listed among known residents of the area that is now the northern fringe of the town of Madison. 7 - (1800)
