The History of Pickens County Alabama: From Its First Settlement in 1817 to 1856, by Nelson F. Smith (1856), provides some background material on Patrick Scott and his family:

Page 31-32:
"In the lists of apportioners, overseers, election managers, juries to review and mark out roads, and in whatever capacity acting, as appear upon the records of the Commissioners Court, in 1824, are found the following names: “George H. Flournoy, Wm. Hargrove, Thos. Homes, Stephen Jenkins, Randall Sherrod, Caleb and Joseph Barnes, John H. Scott, Edmond Parkinson, Allen, Daniel, and Wm. Cox, Linsey Shoemake, David Bradford, Wm. Davidson, C. M. Holland, Thomas Brashiear, Samuel Wier, Burwell and Parks Ball, Thos. G. Sims, William Spraggins, Henry. Robertson, Wm. Fowler, John Crunbull, Richard Jones, John Williams, Thos. C. Stean, Joseph Morehead, Alex. Martin, Underhill and. Robert Ellis, James Peterson, Silas. Forrester, James Smith, Hugh Harrison, Sterret Dobson, George Wilkins, John Billington, John Morfet, Wm. White, John G. Ring, Lewis Ellison, Silas and Charles Dobbs, Loderwick Robertson, Wm. and Joseph Jackson, Patrick Scott, Thos. Harris, Aaron Phillips, William Wilson, John Petete, Andrew Porter, Thos. Woods, and Joe. Ellis."

Page 33-34:
"The first settlement in Pickens county, was made by one Josiah Tilly, who located himself in the year 1817, near the well known Bluff of that name, upon the Tombeckbee, some half at mile above Pickensville, the same now owned by Mr. Zack Pulliam. Tilly came directly from Tuscaloosa, was a native of Tennessee or North Carolina, had lived a year or two in Tuscaloosa county, and had married there the daughter of one Patrick Scott. He was better calculated for border life, having a far more decided taste for the customs of a backwoodsman, than for the refinements of civilization. He had a good deal to do with the Choctaws, was often their agent in little matters, understood their language, and was very popular with them. On one occasion he received from them the sum of $25, to take company of Choctaws over to Tuscaloosa to a (tibba,) or ball-playing.* (Tibba – to fight, to decide)."

Page 36-37:
"Robert Proffet, settled at Pickensville, the same year, and also, John Barksdale, settled near that place, about the same time. The Ringold’s, (Robert and William,) located below Pickensville, about this date, and gave name to the Bluff on the Bigbee, still called Ringold’s Bluff.  Of others who settled' in the same neighborhood as early as 1818, Elihu Cox, Wm. D. Barksdale, and S. P. Doss, alone remain; the two first named, were boys. Burwell Ball came out from Abberville District, in time to make a crop of corn, in 1819. The first crop was made in 1818. The Coxes, James, Robert, and Daniel, planted and raised corn on their little new openings, as early as 1819. Others could be named, who were cotemporary pioneers in the first settlement of Pickens county, among those, James Newman, Elijah Wilbanks, and John G. Ring. The last named, married a third daughter of Patrick Scott, in Tuscaloosa county. He was a Kentuckian, and the other two South Carolinians."

Page 249-250:
"It will be noticed by turning to those pages where Tilley and York are mentioned, that there was another brother-in-law, John G. King, who married into the Patrick Scott family, in Tuscaloosa, and all came to Pickens. All these early nuptials were celebrated in the years 1816-'17, or 1818, because all brought their young brides when they came to Pickens, and Tilley came in the spring of 1817; later, Patrick Scott, the bride's father, removed to Pickens county."

Chatham Co, GA & Edgefield Co, SC

On 26 Oct 1784 in Chatham County, Georgia, Henry Cimbrol [Kimbrel?], his wife Lucy and Lucy's son Patrick Scott created an apprentice contract with Leroy Hammond Esqr., of Snow Hill, South Carolina. The contract states Patrick Scott, the son of Lucy, was a mulatto boy about 13 years old was to serve as the Leroy Hammond's apprentice for a term of eight years. Leroy Hammond was to provide clothing, "lodging suitable & sufficient for one in his station" (assuming him being a mulatto), educated for 6 months and taught the mastery of shoemaking; at the expiration of said service he was to provide "a decent suit of clothes." The contract also states Patrick Scott was not allowed beyond the bounds of Georgia or South Carolina. The witnesses to the contract were Richard Guinn and Elizabeth Church, with Elizabeth Coarse (formerly Church) swearing oath and proving the contract in court on 26 Mar 1794.

NOTE: The fact this contract was proven and filed almost 10 years after it was created shows Patrick Scott was likely pursuing the expiration of said contract, thus still alive and active in society.

NOTE: The contract insinuates that Patrick Scott (born about 1771) was a mulatto son of Lucy, but was not fathered by her husband Henry Cimbrol. Who was his Scott father?

NOTE: Elizabeth Church was married to Daniel Course about December 1788 in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia. Elizabeth was the daughter of Giles and Rebecca Church; Rebecca's fourth husband was Samuel Hammond, nephew of Leroy Hammond. There was a Mrs. Elizabeth Guinn who married a John Hammond in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia in 1787. The witnesses were all related to the Hammond family in some way or another.

The 1790 federal census has Paddy Scott enumerated within Edgefield County, South Carolina. He was listed as a "malatto bound for seven ys." directly above the following other individuals:

Paddy Scott (malatto bound for seven yrs.) 1 free non-white poll
Coleman Scott (malatto bound for five yrs.) 1 free non-white poll
Feeby (free malatto) 1 free non-white poll
Lucy & two children 3 free non-white polls

NOTE: Paddy Scott was living near many Hammond households and the census states she was still bound as an apprentice. His mother Lucy is likely the woman several lines below him, and we can presume that Coleman Scott is a brother.

NOTE: Was Lucy already a widow of Henry Cimbrol? It's unclear who Feeby [Phebe?] is.
