Biography

^[1]From Alexander Scott family Author: Matt Scott.

Andrew Jackson Scott, born in 1836, may in fact have been a son of John B. Scott, as some of John B. Scott's descendants believed, but I have yet to find proof of his parentage. The information came originally from a descendant who was wrong about other things in her letter. Either way, he was raised by Alexander Scott, but John B. Scott's other known son born before 1840 - William M. Scott was raised by others as well.

There is a record floating around the IGI in the LDS database (with no source) that says Jesse Y. Scott was the son of Alexander and Rebecca Hall Scott, and was born 1840 and lived in Dewitt county Illinois; Alexander and Rebecca were married ca. 1814/15; and Rebecca was born 3 Dec 1796 in Virginia. I'm trying to track down the source of that information.

Andrew Jackson b. 1836 Ill. d. 9 Sept 1881 Grand River twp., Daviess co. Mo. m. 9 Sept 1857 Mary Ann Brown b. 1836 Ill. or Nov. 1834 Missouri d. 1919, buried Old Scotland Cemetery, Daviess co. Mo. (no Missouri death certificate); 10 children, 6 living in 1900. The one time Andrew was asked on a census report where his mother was born, he said Illinois, which no one else ever said of Rebecca Blackburn/Hall.. As stated above, may have been the son of John B. Scott, not his brother.
