Notes
Allen Scott appears initially in Caswell Co. records when a marriage bond issued for him to marry America Bennett on the 30 Mar. 1823. The identity of his parents are not known, however, there is some evidence that he was the brother of Azariah Scott, who died in 1858 in Caswell Co. The evidence linking Allen Scott and Azariah Scott is derived mainly from the census records. Allen Scott is living in Caswell Co. in the 1830, 1840, and 1850 censuses. In 1860 and 1870, Allen Scott and his wife America appear in the Ashe Co., NC census. A 23 year old Henry Scott is living in the household of William Bows (?) in the 1850 Caswell Co. census. Allen Scott and Henry Scott appear as heads of household in Ashe Co., NC in the 1860 census. Allen Scott is 62 and is living with America Scott. Henry Scott is 33 and living with his first wife Mary Scott. In the 1870 census for Ashe Co., 40 year old Henry Scott and 6 year old James Scott are living in the household of Allen Scott and America Scott. It appears that Henry’s first wife died and Henry moved into the household of his elderly parents. In the 1880 Ashe Co. census, Azariah H.Scott is listed as head of household and is living with Pheby Scott. 16 year old James Scott is listed as the son of Azariah. I believe that Henry Scott and Azariah H. Scott are the same person.
Based on the census records, it can be concluded that Allen Scott and Azariah Scott are approximatley the same age. Allen Scott was born about 1797 while Azariah Scott was born about 1802. Both lived near Hogan’s Creek in Caswell Co. Allen named a son Azariah.
Allen Scott appears in Caswell Co. in the 1830 census. His household includes 2 males under 5 (Pleasant and Azariah Henry), 1 male 5-10 (?), 1 male 20-30 (Allen), 1 female under 5 (Elizabeth), and 1 female 20-30 (America). 1830 Caswell Co., North Carolina Census, Roll 19, p. 295.
In 1838, Allen Scott was bondsman for the marriage bond of Francis Browning and Mary Morton. The bond is dated 22 Dec. 1838. Katherine Kerr Kendall, Caswell County, North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1778-1864, Geneaological Publishing Co. , p. 10.
Allen Scott is recorded in the 1840 census in Caswell Co. His household includes 1 male 5-10 (James), 2 males 10-15 (Pleasant and Azariah Henry), 1 male 15-20 (?), 1 male 40-50 (Allen), 2 females under 5 (Joicey W. and Mary S.), 2 females 5-10 (Nancy L. and ?), 1 female 10-15 (Elizabeth), and 1 female 30-40 (America). 1840 Caswell Co., North Carolina Census, Roll 358, p. 123.

In the 1860 census, Allen Scott and his wife are living in Ashe Co., North Carolina. Their household includes Elizabeth Scott (28), Nancy (26), Joycia (24), Mary s. (22), Luther (17), and William (12). 1860 Ashe Co., North Carolina Census, Roll M653_887, p. 308. Henry Scott, age 33 and his wife Elizabeth 23, are listed on the next page. James A. Scott, is listed as head of household and is living with his wife Elizabeth and Franklin Scott 16.
In 1870, Allen Scott ans his wife America are still in Ashe Co. Their household includes Elizabeth 38, Nancy 28, Joicey 26, William 19, Henry 40, and James 6. 1870 Ashe Co., North Carolina Census, Roll M593_1122, p. 535.
Allen Scott and America Scott have not been found in the 1880 census, though their children remain in Ashe Co. Therefore, it is presumed that Allen Scott and America Scott died between 1870 and 1880.
