Notes from Larry Anderson.
Other dates, places are not matching up either, 18 Mar 1867, De Witt Co., IL instead of 7 Mar 1872 in Daviess Co., MOI do not believe James Scott could have been the father to the children of Letitia Glenn, who also was his first cousin once removed. Were they really married or is there a mix up, sounds like a mix up of marriage. However, if he was married to Letitia then I suspect the children would have been from a prior marriage of Letitia. Stranger things happen so I cannot yet cross out as impossible. This needs correcting.

S-1870 Census, Daviess Co., MO, Washington Twp.Note: Matt Scott, Lombard, IL, says death date 7 March 1872, Daviess Co., MO.
This corresponds with a James Scott, born 1817, died 1872, and is buried in Old Scotland Cemetery. He gave the land for the cemetery.S-1980 IGI says marriage to Letitia Jane Glenn in 1831. Can't be right.
From notes sent by Opal Lousin, James A. Scott is the son of John Scott,
Jr., James had 3 children listed in this note, however, dates do not match
with marriage, unless he was married first with children before he married to
Letitia.
Marriage date from one source is specific, that is 3 May 1847 in DeWitt
Co., Ill. Children born 1842 to 1845. So I have left off the marriage date
for the time being?

Mrs. Dinah Scott died at her home at Madelaine, Mo., April 1, 1905, aged 84 years, 10 months 3 days and was laid to rest in the Scotland Cemetery Mondayevening, April 3, services being conducted by Elder D.W. Nay of Cass County, Mo. She was one of the charter members of the church of Christ at Scotland and lived a consistent christian life and was loved by all who knew her. It was hard for us to give her up but our loss is Heaven's gain and we sorrow not as those that have no hope. As the evening shades were gathering around, after a hearty supper, Grandma, as she was commonly known, laid down to rest and in about two minutes was found dead by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jane Hiatt. She leaves two sons, several grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn her departure. She will be sadly missed by her son, Jas. Robb, who has been faithful in caring for her so many years and is now left without mother, father, brother, or sister to mingle with in life, but we would say, to him live so as to meet mother in Heaven.
Oh, how sadly do we miss thee, Since she passed from earth away, Borne by
angles home to rest, Eternal life shall be her stay. We loved her yes we loved her, But angles loved her more, And they have gently called her yonder shining shore. Jennie Lee.
Could this be the same Mary with confused dates in Scotland Cem. records?
who died in 1878, born according to that record, was born in 1852?

Notes of Opal Lousin, 3, Dec 1992. ..."John Scott, son of John Wilson
Scott, was born 12 Jan 1813 in Giles Co., Tenn. and went to Crawford Co., Ind., to Sangamon CO., Ill. in 1820 and to Lee Co., Iowa 1835, to Jefferson Co., Iowa in 1838, to des Moines 1856. He was sherriff in Jefferson Co., Iowa. It would be interesting to know if he saw his Aunt, Isabella Scott Bray there in Jefferson Co. who went there in 1839/42. I have searched the different county records here for a Will for John Wilson Scott and found none. He apparently stayed on the same farm but the counties changed lines a few times.PORTRAIT - BIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM of DeWitt and Piatt Co., Ill

JOHN W. SCOTT is an old and venerated resident of DeWitt County, who had
sone a great deal to develope teh section of the country where he resides, and it gives us pleasure to place a sketch of his life on the pages of this
Biographical Album. He is now living in retirement from the active, busy life necessitated by his calling as a farmer and is passing his days in the
enjoyment of the quiet comforts of a cozy home on the southwest quarter of
section 32, Wapella Township.
Mr. Scott is a native of Jackson County, Tenn., where he was born January
22, 1815. His father, whose name was also John, was of Virginia birth and he
was the son of another John, who was likewise a native of Virginia. The Scott family came originally from Scotland. The grandfather of our subject was engaged for many years as a farmer and died at upwards of eighty years of age in 1847, During the great struggle of the Colonists for independence he was a volunteer soldier of the Colonists for independence he was a volunteer soldier and did his part toward securing the freedom of his country. He was a devoted Christian and was a member of the Church of that name.
The father of our subject was one of a large family of children an dhis
early life was passed on his father's farm. When a young man he became a
pioneer of Tennessee and resided on a farm there till the spring of 1827 when
he came to Southern Illinois and located in Jefferson County, coming by wagon
and camping at night alon the way.
He only remained there until the fall of the same year when he located
near Waynesville in this county, which then formed a part of Tazewell County.
He thus became one of the pioneers of this section of the State, and was very
useful in helping to advance its growth. He had a grist and sawmill on ht
eKickapoo Creek west of Waynesville, which he operated for about two years, but here were so few settlers in that vicinity, that it did not prove a success and he sold it.
He next settled near Long Point, in Wapella Township. He entered land
there and created a log house to shelter his family, which he afterward
replaced by a more commodious frame dwelling, in which he made his home until
death called him hence at the age of sixty years. He was one of the earnest
members of the Christian Church and was a stanch Democrat politically.
The mother of our subject was, in her maiden days, Mary Keith, and she was a native of Alabama. She was a sincere Christian and took quite an interest in church matters, being one of the most zealous members of the Christian Church. She lived to the venerable age of eighty-four years, spending her last days in Missouri. Of her eight children, seven grew to maturity.
Alee Keith, the maternal grandfather of our subject, was of English decent and was a native of Alabama, where he was engaged in farming for many years. He spent his last days in Tennessee, dying there at the age of more than eighty years. His father, Daniel Keith, was also a native of Alabama, a son of one of it's early Colonial families. During some period of his life he became a pioneer farmer of Tennessee, and there died when more than ninety years old. He was deprived of his eyesight for some time before his death.
John Scott, the subject of this review, lived in Tennessee until he was
twelve or thirteen years old, and gained a part of his education in the rude
lag schoolhouses of that day. He attended school some after he came with his
parents to this county.
There were then but few settlers here and those were located along hte
creeks on the outskirts of the timber. Deer, turkey, wolves and other wild
animals abounded, but as our subject had to work hard to help his father in the developement of a farm, he seldom had an opportunity to indulge in hunting. But he sometimes killed deer in the winter of the deep snow had much sport, as he and his companions used to get the deer down in the snow and tying their feet together, dragged them home on a horse. There were some Kickapoo Indians here when he came but they left soon after. He used to have to go to Pekin on the Illinois River to obtain groceries for the family and he also marketed grain at that time.
There were then no established roads here and only a few Indian trails
which the settlers usually followed. Mr. Scott began life on his own account
at the age of twenty years. He first worked out, finding employment with a man who lived at Bloomington Grove, who gave him $12 a month for his work, and he continued with him a year and a half.
He was often engaged in the hard pioneer task of breaking prairie and used to drive four and five yoke of oxen for that purpose.
After he left the employ of the gentleman referred to he was engaged in breaking prairie for a considerable time and recieved from $1.50 to $2.50 an acre for it. Mr. Scott finally entered land, first in this township on section 20. He actively entered upon its improvement, building first a small frame house in which to live. He later entered another place on section 31, and also improved that farm.
He afterward obtained a land warrant which gave him the southwest quarter of section 32, where he now lives. This farm he has placed under substantial improvement. Its fields are well tilled and a neat set of farm buildings adorn the place - including his present house, which he erectedin 1861 at a cost of $900 aside from his own labor, and also the frame barn taht he built in 1862.
Mr. Scott at one time owned two hundred and forty acres of land, but has
divided it among his children and now lives with his son, Thomas F., in
honorable retirement from the cares and labors that beset his early days,
surrounded by every comfort that heart could desire. He farmed one hundred and sixty acres till 1870, when he abandoned his occupation, having accumulated a handsome competence. Mr. Scott and Miss Mahala Artherton were married in 1844 and for forty six years they have shared life's joys and troubles. Their marriage had been greatly blessed to them, especially in the birth of Children, of whom they have had seven, four sons and three daughters, of whom five grew to maturity: Laura (Mrs. Maxwell), William,
James, Frank and Elizabeth (deceased).
Mr. and Mrs. Scott are people whose warm hearts and kindly interest in the welfare of those around them have gained them a warm place in the affections of their neighbors and friends and they are regarded with the highest repect. For a great many years they have been true and devout memberes of the Chirstian Church as is shown by their conduct in all the affairs of life.
Mr. Scott is a Democrat in politics and as a good citizen should be, is
earnestly interested in all that pertains to his country. He is one of the few now living who have witnessed almost the entire growth of DeWitt County, and it may well be his pride that has done what he could to advance its agricultural interests.1850 Census of DeWitt Co., Ill. 113/115 pg. 405
