Mulberry Street is now Limestone Street and Van Pelt is now Rose Street.

His obituary from the Protestant and Herald as reprinted in The Frankfort Commonwealth of June 20, 1843:

"It becomes our painful duty to record the death of our very highly esteemed friend and excellent fellow citizen, Dr. Joseph Scott, of Lexington, who departed this life at his residence, on Tuesday, the 6th inst., at about 10:00 p.m.

Dr. Scott was born Feb. 19th, 1781, lived sixty-two years, three months and eighteen days, and then 'slept with his fathers'.

He has been long and most favorably known in this State and in Ohio, as one of our ablest and most successful Physicians. Diseases, often of the most malignant character, were made to yield, with the blessing of God, under his superior skill, and even death, in some instances, where he had apparently commenced his work, was staid, and the tide of life and health restored. Many, very many of the living will bless his memory while they retain their recollection.

... His funeral was attended by the largest and most respectable class of citizens we have ever witnessed on a funeral occasion in Lexington. Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Methodist and Baptist, with scores of non-professors of religion, attended with demonstrations of the deepest feeling and solemnity. The funereal procession was of great length; scores of carriages, and persons on horse-back, and the sidewalks of the streets crowded with people on foot, all slowly, silently and solemnly following the remains of their departed friend to the last lodging place of mortals - the grave."

He married Hannah Duncan in Fort Pitt, Pennsylvania, 1790. Hannah is the daughter of David Duncan and Margaret Hamilton. John Finley was a Major in the Revolutionary War. He explored Kentucky as part of the Thompson expedition in 1773. From The Kentucky Encyclopedia edited by John E. Kleber (University Press of Kentucky, 1992: THOMPSON EXPEDITION. The Thompson expedition was a 1773 survey of lands in Virginia (now Kentucky) near the Ohio River by Pennsylvania militia officers who had served in the French and Indian War. The intent was to locate lands promised them for their military service in the war. Designating Capt. William Thompson as their leader, the expedition of over sixty men departed Pittsburgh in either late June or early July. They traveled down the Ohio River by flatboat to the mouth of the Scioto River, where they camped on the Kentucky side and waited for the arrival of their horses and of Thomas BULLITT, an official Virginia surveyor (Thompson's party was not legally authorized to make surveys). By July 10 Thompson learned that Bullitt had left on his way downriver and would not be meeting them. A few days later he learned that the expedition's horses had been stolen by Indians. Hoping they could later convince the Virginia authorities to accept their claims, the expedition continued down the Ohio in canoes to Cabin Creek, where Thompson divided the group into three parties. They surveyed the North Fork of the Licking River, Salt Lick Creek, and Upper Blue Licks. Fear of Indian attack prevented them from reaching the Kentucky River area. They surveyed approximately 200,000 acres and divided the land into claims. The entire expedition reassembled at Cabin Creek and departed for Pennsylvania, where a lottery was held to dispense the claims in August or September of 1773. The expedition however, had no authority to make the surveys. Thompson had applied for a surveyor's license When he realized that Bullitt would not be joining them, but it was not validated until May 1774. Through their agent, Dr. John Morgan. the expedition formally applied in 1774 for permission to make land claims in Virginia. The application was approved and land warrants were issued by Lord Dunmore, governor of Virginia, but the claims made in 1773 were not validated. The Revolutionary War ended the matter until 1783. Two further attempts were made at validation, in 1783 and 1807, but both were denied. None of the expedition's members received title to Kentucky land on the basis of the Thompson surveys, but the publicity they received attracted settlers to the Kentucky area. See R.S. Cotterill, "The Thompson Expedition of 1773," FCHQ 20 (July 1946): 179-84. Contrary to the statement just quoted, the United States Supreme Court in 1815 upheld a land title at the Upper Blue Lick based upon one of the "Thompson" surveys in an opinion by Chief Justice Marshall in the case of Finley v. Williams and Others, 3 L.Ed. 162. This was a case involving John Finley, brother of my ancestor, Michael Finley. Finley was represented by John Pope. The appellees (the losing parties) were represented by Henry Clay. His biography from The Kentucky Encyclopedia:FINLEY, JOHN. John Finley, pioneer and legislator, was born in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, on July 7, 1748, to John and Martha (Berkley) Finley. During his early years, Finley was involved in the cattle trade with the French in the Great Lakes region. In July 1773, Finley joined an expedition, led by Capt. William Thompson, that floated down the Ohio River from Fort Pitt to Kentucky. Thompson led a group to the mouth of Cabin Creek, where they began surveying, while Finley joined a smaller group that traveled farther south to explore the Licking River at the Upper Blue Licks. The group spent a week clearing almost an acre of land to build a log cabin. They made only one survey, which covered about 1,440 acres, during which they discovered the Blue Lick Springs, farther south, that became the Lower Blue Licks. Hostile Indians forced Finley to rejoin Thompson and the main group at Cabin Creek in early August. When they left Kentucky, the expedition had marked lines along Cabin Creek, Salt Lick Creek, Johnson Creek, and the North Fork of the Licking River. All of the tracts of land adjoined, except for Finley's Upper Blue Licks survey, covering an area of about twenty square miles. Virginia had refused to recognize the Thompson surveys since the expedition had not been commissioned by the colony. In 1779, however, the Virginia Land Act gave a preemption of 1,000 acres to any Virginian who had made a land improvement in Kentucky prior to January 1, 1778, which made Finley eligible for most of the land he had surveyed in the Upper Blue Licks. His military service had prevented him from filing his claim, but in 1789 he joined the expedition of Col. James GARRARD and marked his land in Fleming and Nicholas counties. For several years the danger of Indian attacks prevented him from moving, and not until 1796 was he able to settle along the banks of the Licking River with his family. His land was crossed by both the Warriors' Path to Cabin Creek and the main Washington Road, and be was appointed overseer of the main road in 1798. Finley was perhaps Fleming County's most prominent citizen, serving as state legislator from that county during 1800-1804 and as justice of the peace during 1801-5. Indicating some dissatisfaction with his home, Finley in 1802 began leasing twenty-five acres of his land, his ferry on the Licking, and his salt works. In 1809 be built a tavern for people traveling down the river. That same year, relatives of John Durham (who had surveyed land in the same area) contested Finley's land, claiming it overlapped land that was rightfully theirs. Despite appeals, Finley lost between 250 and 300 acres of land in 1820, including the Washington Road and his new home. A son-in-law in 1828 bought back the land and sold it to Finley in 1836. Finley married Hannah Duncan in Pittsburgh in 1790; they had seven children: Martha, David Duncan, Margaret, Samuel Berkley, Betsey Ann, Maria Jane, and Hannah. Finley died on April 10, 1837, and was buried in the family graveyard near his first home on the Licking River. See R.S. Cotterill, "John Finley. Pioneer of Fleming County," Register 42 (April 1944): 91-98.
