I remember a dispute about this chapter, some questioning if the Scott descendants I found on the census in Sumter were really the family of James Scott, or if that particular branch had settled in Tennessee instead. I am all in favor of accuracy, although you can't tell it by the printed edition of this book, so if anybody wants to refresh my memory, please do so.
