Daughter of Henry and Martha (last name unknown) Scott who came to Texas before 1830.
Henry Scott came to Texas under Stephen F. Austin's Second Empresario Contract. The name Henry Scott age 38 appears on Stephen F. Austin's Register of Families, showing that he entered Texas from Alabama in February 1829, a farmer with a wife Patsey, five males and three females. Colonization Law of Coahula and Texas in effect at that time welcomed foreigners into its territory and offered very favorable conditions to acquire land. Settlers had to prove that they were of good character and take an oath of allegiance to the Laws of Mexico. In 1830 Mexico cut off the spigot of settlers when the rebellion started; however, the law did not apply to either Stephen F. Austin or Dewitt Colonies. Although this land was listed as a land grant, the land was not free because settlers paid cents per acre, and given a term of six years to repay the debt with three equal installments of one third due at the end of the fourth, fifth and sixth year.
The town of Rosenberg was later founded on this original Mexican land grant of Henry Scott where a small, nameless shipping point existed on the Brazos as early as 1830. On 08 April 1831 Henry acquired a league of land (4,428.40) acres in the bend of the Brazos River.

The five boys were:
David born 25 May 1816
Simpson born 23 April 1818
