Sue was born and raised in Illinois. On her mother's side, she comes from a long line of Scotts.  On her father's side, she is a Bute. This gives her a heritage of both Scott and Stuart (Stuart of Bute). She has been married to Dirk Leenders for 25 years. Dirk is a born and raised Dutchman from Amsterdam Holland, but has an enthusiastic interest in everything Scottish

"My founding Grandfather (in this country) X6 - John Scott, Sr.  came in through Cape Fear and I feel like I am continuing a connection with John and NC. I feel like I have came "home" moving to NC, last year. The most important part is: I am near my son and the "Devine Miss M" our granddaughter
I am looking forward to connecting with distant family members and connecting with Clan Scott past & present members in NC."
