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.

Jeremiah Scott 2m 10-15, 1m 30-40, 2f -5, 3f 5-10, 1f 10-15, 1f 30-40

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.]

Wilmoth WALTERS and Nimrod SCOTT were married. Nimrod SCOTT¹⁰ was born (date unknown).

1810: Burksville, Cumberland, KY
Scotts were: Absalom [age 26-45], Henry [age 26-45 and listed in a row with Thos. and Saml.] , Saml [age 26-45], Thos [age +45], Jacob and John [both over 45 and listed next to each other] . No Allen or Clement and no William Scott listed as head of household. John Scott did list three males age 16-26 in his household, but no women of comparable age.
A Thomas Scott has been suggested in some databases as father of the Scotts in Cumberland.

In 1820, Listed as Paoli, Cumberland, KY
Nimrod, Sr., Clement, Joel, Jeremiah, and Nimrod Jr.
Jacob and John still listed next to each other, and both over age 45. Absalom now also over 45.
Samuel Scott was still in the 26-45 age group. Thomas over 45. Henry not there but there was a widow Nancy Scott on the same page with Samuel & Thomas - she was age 26-45.
Other Scotts added were Nathaniel and Shadrach, both 26-45, next to each other, and on the same page with Samuel, Thomas, and Nancy Scott.
And there was apparently a young Scott widow - Sally, with a little boy under 10, and she was age 16-26.
