History of John Scott, 1761-1843, by Kenneth Scott.
John, Jacob [and their families], and their nephew Allen Clement Scott (son of Nimrod Sr) along with his wife and his sister, Sallie who was married to William Scott, came in the same wagon train to their new home in Kentucky, Nimrod, Sr. followed 1817-1820. This group of Scotts were located in the south central section of the county and were spread early north from the satate line along Kettle Creek and on PeaRidge up to at least Galloway Creek. This group of Scotts by far have the largest number of descendants in the Cumberland, KY area.

I have been told that the Clement family used the given name Wilmoth and that is one more reason for thinking Wilmoth's mother might have been Lucy Clement or Lucy Clement Walker and perhaps a young widow when she married Thomas. Have found no evidence of this at all.

Nimrod Scott is on the 1820 Cumberland Co KY census.
1m age 16-26, 1m 45+, 1f -10, 1f 16-26, 1f 45+
Looks like it could be Nimrod and spouse, over 45, maybe a married child with a young daughter living with them.
They were not there in 1810.

1830 Cumberland, all on the same page of the census:
Joel Scott, 1m 20-30, 1m 30-40, 2f -5, 1f 20-30
Nimrod Scott Senr 1m 70-80, 1f 10-15 [would seem to be a widower]
Jeremiah Scott 2m 10-15, 1m 30-40, 2f -5, 3f 5-10, 1f 10-15, 1f 30-40
Clement Scott 1m 15-20, 1m 20-30, 1m 50-60; 1f -5, 2f 5-10, 1f 10-15, 1f 15-20, 1f 20-30, 1f 40-50

More on children of Wilmoth & Nimrod Scott:
Clement, b. ca 1786 VA; d. Aug 1840 in Cumberland Co KY. Married Sarah Slaydon 25 Nov 1800 Allegheny Co PA [I think this is wrong.... I believe Thomas' brother Clement Walters was married to Sarah "Sallie" Slaydon and I doubt that the marriage took place in Allegheny Co as the Slaydons lived in Pittsylvania Co where the Walters were living at the time. I also do not believe Clement Scott married at age 14.]
