Gabriel SCOTT (1741-?) and Ann SCOTT

Edna OTWELL-SIM>Mary CHARNOCK-OTWELL>Eliza SCOTT-CHARNOCK>Joseph SCOTT>Gabriel SCOTT>Gabriel and Ann SCOTT

Gabriel Scott was baptized June 7, 1741 in Welney, Norfolk, England.  His parents were Gabriel Scott and Elizabeth Abram.

Gabriel's wife was Ann (no maiden name found).  We found 11 children born to Gabriel and Ann Scott.  They were Gabriel (our direct ancestor), Elizabeth, Joseph, Susanna, Thomas, Dianah, John, Abram, Sarah, John and Robert.

It does become quite confusing as we have three Gabriel Scotts in our direct line and many sons of these Gabriel Scotts named their own son, Gabriel, after their father.

We have found no information on Ann Scott.  She is listed on the birth records of her children as Ann Scott.  We found her signature on her son, Gabriel's, marriage record in December 1787 where she is listed as a widow.
