1850 Census lists Pulaski Cnty Eagle township
184 Conway Scott 35 farmer $10,000 KY
Catherine 32 KY
This could be previous wife of an older man.
All others listed in that household are brickmasons, laborers, etc.
"Goodspeed- HX of AR" pg 370 lists WM and Conway Scott settled in twnshp 1 north, range 10 west in 1835. Pg 647 states he and son Conway came to AR about 1830 settled 10 miles below LR and opened large plantation.
1840 Census Pulaski Cnty lists on pg 99. Wife Eleanor Scott obit in Gazette lists her home as Shelby County KY and lists husband as Maj Willian Scott, Sen. and it is assumed this is right Wm Scott (KY home for both)
Obit Gazette 5-12-1845 "died" "in this county on the 7th inst., of billious fever, William Scott aged 63 years."
Gazette 4-18-1826 "(communicated) at the last session of the circuit court for Crawford County, His Honor James Woodson Bates presiding, William Scott was tried on indictment for stabbing with intent to kill one Charles S Reno, Captain of steamboat Cpartan, and was acquitted."
COMMENT: by Will Johnson [WJhonson@aol.com], Franklin Co Historian to T.Mason on 1 Jan 2004. "This is not the same person as the William who died in Pulaski Co in 1845. This other William Scott would easily be confused with the one in Pulaski; however the above referenced William died 19 Feb 1845 in McLean's Bottom, FRANKLIN Co, Arkansas.
Please note:
1) Franklin Co was formed Dec 1837 *out of* Crawford
2) In his death announcement it was stated that the William (who died in Franklin) died about 65 years old and had lived in this spot for 20 years.
3) In the 1840 Franklin census, there is this William Scott living, and aged 50-60 at that time.
4) In 1835 in Crawford Co, William Scott is a magistrate
5) His will was presented to probate in FRANKLIN County Apr 1845 and sworn to Jul 1845; admin was set aside and L C Quin named exector."
Assumed to be wife of our Wm Scott since from KY and this is listed as Conway Sr's home.
Gazette Obit. 4-25-1838 Pg3 col 3, states "died" "in this township on the 16th inst., After a short illness Mrs. Eleanor Scott in the 55th year of her age, consort of Maj. William Scott, Sen., formerly of Shelby County, Kentucky."
One wonders if Conoway may have been maiden name and there are several families in KY census with this last name?
Murdered. Written up in the AR Gazette 2May1837, p.2 and 14 May 1837, p.3. Indicates was shot in back and trial of bro-in-law and his brother and related items in paper. Bro-in-law was married to Catherine Scott.

WILL dated 11 February 1531 and proved 25 September 1531 - I, William Borden of Hedcorn. To be buried within the Church of Our Lady between my 2 wives Joan and Thomasin. To Elizabeth my daughter, a standing Nutte with silver & gilt & a cover. To Anne my daughter, F20. To Katherine my daughter, my messuage, 2 gardens, a forstall, 3 pieces of land formerly called Southlands, & 2 pieces of land called Ryngsell, purchased of Sir William Ketlesden, formerly Vicar of Hedcorn; for default of heirs to the said Katherine, the same to remain to my son Thomas his heirs for ever. ... I will that Edward Borden my son hold himself content with my tenement of Borden, with 100 acres of land & meadow & my tenement at Wike, with such lands as he holds of me by indenture under a false pretence of marriage of Johane daughter of John Aleyn, Baron of the Exchequer. I will that Rose my wife occupy my principal messuage Horcheyard Podsole, a tenement & piece of land called Borowfyld, she keeping Thomas and Anne my children. My feoffees to let 2 pieces of land called Ketes & Somerlese with all my other lands lying on the north side of the street leading from Hedcorn to Levenham, &c., &c., until my son Thomas attain 24 years. To the said Thomas I give a piece of land containing 10 acres called Pikesfelde, "lying to the hall dore of his brother Edward's hall dore." (Proved 25 Sep 1531. Archaelogia Cantina, Vol XIX, Section 10, folio 224.) CHILD: Edmund is not mentioned in his fathers will. In early English wills the eldest son is seldom named because as heir, under the common law of England, he inherited by primogeniture, land not being generally devisable. In Kent, almost all of the land was, and is, held by the custom of Gavelkind. In no county in England were the ancient Saxon customs regarding marriage so carefully observed as in Kent. In other words, the descendants of Edmund Borden, by operation of the custom of Gavelkind, became seized during their lifetime of certain lands which had formerly been the property of Will and his ancestors. Stephen, son of William, by operation of custom of Gavelkind became seized of certain lands at Bydynden which had once belonged to John Borden (died 1469) and to his ancestors.BIOGRAPHY: Family History Records; ; compiled by Michael S.

When the organization was merged into the mid-south association, he was continued as a director and had been re-elected every year since. He also served as vice-president of the mid-south body.
