Here's still a puzzle. Perhaps you have seen this man in your travels amonst the censuses. He is a nephew of our Pleasant W. SCOTT who married Catherine HOn. John S. SCOTT, son of John T. M. SCOTT & Mary ABRELL, born 1856-1857. Perhaps his wife's name was Laura. 1860 census with parents in Owen Co. IN, Franklin Twp. age 3. 1870 census with parents in Illinois, Christian County, Pana Township, age 13. Photograph of Aunt Laura taken in Springfield, MO. Obituary of his brother, M. DeLafayette Scott, says that at that time, 1926, John S. Scott, of Kansas City, was visiting in Newberry, IN, but was too sick to attend the funeral. Where was John S. Scott in 1880? Several single men of that name are in Missouri & Kansas working in lumber or building railroads. When & where was he married? Did he really marry Laura? If not, who is Aunt Laura? Are any of John's descendants out there doing genealogy? John T. M. Scott, father of John S. & M. DeLafayette, was the son of Samuel & Milly (FOSTER) SCOTT of Owen County, IN. Grateful for any clues.
