Notes:

Robert is listed as being born in 1833 in the 1850 U.S. Census.

When looking for Robert with his wife, Sophia, in the 1870 Census, be aware that it has Melissa Wilson listed as the head of household. It was a mistake on the census takers part.

Robert married Sophia D. Ellis on 12 Apr 1854 in Carroll County, Indiana, United States. Sophia (daughter of Mordacai N. Ellis and Sarah Ann Brockus) was born on 7 Apr 1837 in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, United States; died on 22 Sep 1915 in Jefferson Township, Carroll, Indiana, United States; was buried on 24 Sep 1915 in Delphi, Carroll, Indiana, United States.

Notes:

The 1880 Census has Sophia being born in 1838. According to the 1900 Census, Sophia is the mother of 9 children with only 8 living. I have only recorded 8 children so it is unknown who the 9th child is.

Notes:

Married:
Although it looks like the year of 1834 in the Marriage Record, it is obvious that it is 1854. Robert was not born until 1831, and obviously a 3 year old is not gonna get married. Also if you look at the bottom of the page it is certified in May 1854. Granted you have to look at it carefully to see that the date is 1854, but if you look at the marriage record on the next page, it is apparent that the certified date is 1854

Notes:

Joseph's son, Thomas is living next door to him in 1850.
Joseph is listed as being born in 1790 in the 1850 census.
It appears that Joseph and Mary started out in North Carolina and then before Nancy, their daughter was born, they were in Tennessee. By 1824 - 1828 they are in Indiana.

I had entered Joseph Sr and Nansie (Stodgon) Scott as Joseph's father. However, that would have made Joseph Sr being of the age of 76 years old at Joseph's birth. That seems to be to way off for a couple to have children at that age. Although possible, it is highly unlikely. Most women do not have children after the age of 45, although some do in their 50's. However, until I can get proof that Joseph and Nansie are his parents, I am removing them as the parents.
Something else to consider as well is the naming pattern back then. Scottish naming patterns usually went as follows:
The pattern generally went as follows:
The first son was named after the father's father.
The second son after the mother's father.
The third son after the father.
The first daughter after the mother's mother.
The second daughter after the father's mother.
The third daughter after the mother.

Keep in mind that sometimes they named them with a middle name. However He never named a child Joseph until the last one. If you go by the naming pattern then Joseph's father would be the name of Thomas in some way. And this always makes one wonder if Isaac is Mary's father at all as well as the 2nd son was named after the Mothers father which would make her father's name Silas. And if you go by the naming pattern, Nancy would be Mary's mother. and Jane would be Joseph's mother. But the 3rd daughter is named Celia which is no where close to her mother's name.

Joseph married Mary Anglin about 1810 in North Carolina, United States. Mary (daughter of Living) was born on 24 Jul 1792 in Buncombe County, North Carolina, United States; died on 15 Apr 1883 in Carroll County, Indiana, United States; was buried in Delphi, Carroll, Indiana, United States.

Notes:

1811, 1814

The 1870 Census, has the dwelling and family numbers on the incorrect line. The last i checked a small child would not be the beginning, especially considering the parents are on the household before. The also have her indexed as Sarah Armstrong, which you can clearly see is a transcription error when you pull the actual document up.
