Scott-Coil Ancestors: Historical Profiles from the Family Tree
Historian Paula Amelia Scott brings the Scott-Coil family tree to life with detailed individual profiles of the men and women who made up the family. Much more than a recitation of dates and names, Scott provides fascinating historical context for these forebears and helps modern readers understand what their lives in the 1600s, 1700, 1800s, and 1900s were like. In these pages you will encounter a man who lived through the Siege of Derry in Northern Ireland in 1689, a woman skilled in linen weaving who made textiles in the 1700s that are still treasured in a church in Virginia today, a Revolutionary War soldier who lost his life in the conflict, a slave-holding minister who, at the end of his life, finally found the will to set the people he had held in bondage free, a teenage girl so enamored of the Confederacy that she published an anti-Union poem that attracted an investigation by federal authorities, and much more. Besides the Scott and Coil branches, ancestors with the surnames Almon, Bourland, Campbell, Carthrae, Copeland, Dawson, Duvall, Gatlin, Hanks, Henry, James, Kennerly, Kirkwood, Long, Loving, McGuyer (McGuire), Mills, Moore, Mott, Nall, O'Bryan, Poage, Prescott, Preston, Wallace, White, and Woods are also included.
