ALEXANDER SCOTT

  Resided in Columbia county during the revolutionary war, and was the first
moderator of the Georgia Association, in May, 1785. His wife taught him to
spell, but she died before he could read. He had preached in Wilkes, and was the
means of bringing Silas Mercer to think seriously on the subject of baptism, and
finally baptized him. Soon he removed to South Carolina, and was many years
pastor of Black Swamp church, and moderator of Savannah River Association. About
1807, several of his parishioners removed to Wilkinson county, Mississippi, and
Mr. Scott went with them, but did not long survive the removal. He was in high
reputation as an excellent counselor. A son of his, A. M. Scott, (Abram
Marshall, it is presumed,) has been Governor of Mississippi.
