Looking for Ira C. Scott born June 1860 Pennsylvania Ira C. Scott is my great-grandfather. I have not been able to find any birth record for him or any marriage records. The information I do have was given to me by my grandmother Ruth Smiley Scott's memories and from a document she had in her possession. Thomas A. Scott wrote the document in 1900, in Chillocothe , Ohio. It told the history of William Scott who came to the US in about 1741 with his wife Margaret �Polly� Calhoun. Thomas A. Scott�s parents were Francis Scott born 8/9/1782 in Allegheny Co., PA and Elizabeth Axtell born 8/15/1805. The document also included stories regarding James Scott as related by Mrs. Margaret Tuttle ,James Scotts Granddaughter, in Missouri (Written by E.Wilson) I know that Ira C. Scott was in Colorado in the early 1900�s from correspondence that my grandmother had. The 1900 Colorado, Arapahoe Co., Berkley division Census shows that he was born in PA in June 1860, he was there with his wife Mary Boggs (born Iowa 1867) and his Son Harry Boggs Scott (born Iowa Aug. 1890). His father was born in PA and his mother was born in Ohio. He had been married 11 years (married in 1889). He was an Iron Molder. Mary Boggs was the Daughter of Perry Boggs and Jemima Welch of Albia Iowa; I�ve traced her family fairly easily. Ira C. Scott is shown on the 1887 Leadsville Colorado City Directory as a coach cleaner, D&.R.G.R.R., r.1501 N. Poplar (there are also a L.C.Scott Car repairer same business and address ). Ira C. Scott is shown on the 1888 Leadsville Colorado City Directory as a car repairer.D&RGRR r 1501 N.Poplar (/There is also a Miss Lizzie Scott , boarding same address and a Luzerne C. Scott car inspector, D&RGRR same address and a Thomas A. Scott and Willliam F. Scott all the same address) Ira C. Scott is shown on the 1898 Denver Colorado City Directory as a miner, living r 3553 William . I have correspondence from a S.B. and Celestia Phillips in Athens , Ohio calling Ira brother and correspondence from an Elizabeth Scott who was in N.Y. City in 1910 taking graduate courses in nursing calling him brother . I have letter from an Angeline Hodge in Greenville Pa calling him brother. It turns out that Angeline Hodge is Angeline Scott, daughter of Thomas A. Scott and Phoebe Drake. Angeline was born in Hebbardsvillle, Athens, Ohio, and married Elijah Hodge in 1874. Mary Scott moved to Syracuse, NY in about 1922 to live with her Daughter-in-law and Son (and only child) Harry. Ira was not in evidence after that. I don�t know if he died or they were divorced. They last piece of correspondence I have from Ira was in 1918 ,postmarked Los Angles , CA to Mary who was staying with her niece Lura Rosella Clark Morganson in Escalon Ca.(daughter of John R. Clark and Louisa (Lilla) Boggs.) I�ve gone back from Thomas Scott and Phoebe Drake to Francis Scott and Elizabeth Axtell to James Scott and Rachel Forbes to William Scott and Margaret Peggy Calhoun and have a lot of information on the various families tied to them but I really need some help finding a concrete tie to Ira and this family. I can�t find Thomas Scott and Phoebe Drake on any Census in Ohio or Pa. I�m hoping someone out there is a descendant of Thomas A. Scott and Phoebe Drake and has records of their Children and is willing to share it. Thanks you so much for your help it really is appreciated.
