According to some accounts, Dred Scott had at least one brother who was sold at the same time Scott was. Some people believe the brother's name was Dred, and that the man we know as Dred Scott was really named Sam. The Missouri Historical Society does not substantiate this claim, however.Dred Scott may or may not have had full siblings, depending upon whether his parents were kept together or sold to different owners. Because African-Americans were considered property, rather than human beings, it was not unusual for slave owners to break up families by selling one or more of them to another "master."Unfortunately, whatever records may have existed about Dred Scott, his family of origin, or his early life are no longer extant.
