Jane SCOTT
Note: As of 2018 it has not been proved that Jane Brains, wife of Thomas Scott of Graveley Cam, is the daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Brains of Keystone Hunts. Process of elimination has led to this unproven assertion. There is one known DNA match of a gg-grandson of Thomas and Jane Scott with a descendant of Thomas and Elizabeth Braines of Keystone.

Possible Baptism Record of James, son of Thomas & Jane Scott

Note: This is the only James Scott born in Graveley in this time frame. The name of the mother is Elizabeth and there is another record of a girl named Mary Scott born to a Thomas & Elizabeth Scott in 1831. It is possible (likely) that the name Elizabeth is an error because there is no other Thomas Scott married in Graveley and young James Scott, 9, is listed in Thomas & Jane Scott's family in the 1841 census. The baby Mary Scott had died in 1835.
