Biography

^[1]From "History of the Restoration Movement Andrew Scott 1786-1859 A Look At Andrew Scott's Life" by Tom L. Childers, Wayne Kilpatrick and Scott Harp with Paul Garrett

"Andrew Scott was born in 1786 in North Carolina. When a youth, his family moved to Jackson, now Clay County, Tennessee. There he met and married Anna Longest May 28, 1808. Together they had eleven children.

In 1824 the family moved to Sangamon County, Illinois. It is not known when he came across the literature of Alexander Campbell, but it can be safely said that his influence was great. Not long after arriving in Illinois he met Theophilus Sweet, a strong Baptist. Soon his influence brought about change in thought, and they committed themselves to proclaiming New Testament Christianity in their area.

Scott’s work was primarily in the western part of Illinois. He planted the church in Sangamon County at his home in New Berlin. He evangelized in neighboring counties as well. He was a strong influence in that region in the early to middle years of the 19th century in that area.

In 1853 his wife Anna passed away, and he remarried Mary Maxwell. They were married about six years when Scott died in 1859. So little is known of his life and work. However it can be said that he was faithful to the cause of Christ until his death.

Wilson A. Scott went to Fort Des Moines and traded with the Indians there until they were removed west. He accompanied them but returned to Des Moines, laid out the town on the east side of the river, and it was largely through his influence and contributions that the capital was built on that side. He went to California, returned to Des Moines and contributed two or three years to the building up of the city; started to Pike's Peak and died at Fort Laramie in 1859. His remains were buried at Des Moines.

Mrs. Anna Crayton Scott (this is really Anna Longest, not Crayton) died and Andrew Scott married Mrs. Maxwell, whose maiden name was Ellis. He died in 1859 and his widow died in 1861. He was a minister in the Christian church.

Andrew and Anna’s (This is really John Wilson Scott's and Nancy Keith's other children) other children:

2. ALEXANDER,

3. JOHN,

4. WILSON,

5. WILLIAM,

6. JAMES,

7. MARTIN, S

8. SAMUEL,

9. RUTH,

10. ANNA

11. NANCY

All these brothers and sisters named above, settled in DeWitt county, Illinois; none came to Sangamon county.

NOTE 1: Anna Crayton was married to John Wilson Scott as his first wife. His second wife was Nancy Keith. John and Nancy's son was Andrew Scott who married Anna Longest and apparently Miss Ellis/Mrs. Maxwell - note that most of the family information in this volume is accurate.

In this particular account, there is confusion as to which Andrews, which Anna’s and which Johns. Most will have census records to be sure.)

Note 2: This volume has John Wilson Scott's father as Andrew Scott and mother Anna Wilson. It is also possible that his father was John Scott and Mary Chenoweth or Anna Wilson as mother, making the grandfather as Andrew Scott.)

m/1. 28 May 1808 Jackson co. Tenn. Anna Longest, d/o Caleb & Hanna Folson Longest b. 18 Oct 1791 now Carteret co. N. C. d. 14 Sept 1853 Sangamon co. Ill.; 11 children.

Andrew was a minister in the Christian church.

Andrew's son Gaddial Scott's biography in Knox co. Ill. says his father was born in North Carolina. Andrew and Anna moved from South Carolina to Jackson (now Clay) county, Tennessee about 1804; they settled on the Little Trace Creek near the present-day town of Hermitage Springs.

They then moved to Lincoln co. Kentucky about 1810 and lived on Cane Creek; from there to Giles co. Tennessee on the Pigeon Roost branch (or creek) of the Elk river, in 1811/12; from there to Harrison (later Orange, then Crawford) co. Indiana 1813/14 (first settling in Whiskey Run township, then settling near what became the town of Hartford, Indiana), then to Illinois, first living near Richland, in Cartwright Township, Sangamon County, Illinois.

They are said in more than one place (here and here) to have moved to Illinois in 1818, but they were in Indiana when the census was taken in 1820; perhaps they returned for a short time.

They settled in Island Grove, Sangamon co. in 1824. It is not yet known if the whole extended family moved with them between Jackson co. Tenn. and Indiana, but they did follow them to Sangamon co. Ill., moving on to what was to become Dewitt co. Ill. about 1827.

It would be helpful to see land records for Lincoln co. Ky. and Giles co. Tenn. for that time period, to see if Andrew and family were moving alone or with the rest of the family (or if they even bought land).

I'd also like to see the bible that these carefully-placed birth dates seem to originate from!

^[4]From the '"1878 History of Knox County, Illinois" "In 1827 Andy Osborn, Andrew Scott, John Slatten and Gaddial Scott, four sturdy young men from Sangamon county, made a tour through this country (now Know co. Ill.) in search of honey. They pushed ahead, over prairie and through timber, until Henderson Grove in this county was reached. Here they discovered two well filled trees, and without trouble were soon possessors of their delicious contents. They remained for one week, during which time they met neither white man nor negro. The only persons these explorers met, from the time of their leaving Sangamon county until they returned, were a Mr. Atwood and his son, who lived south of the old Galena road... Mr. Gaddial Scott seemed to have formed a good impression of Knox county, for we find him moving here a few years after".

According to History of the Disciples in Illinois 1819-1914 by Nathaniel S. Haynes^[5]: "He was a minister whose aim was to teach and preach the true faith and the pure gospel. He at once began to hold meetings in the log cabins of the pioneers. In 1824 he settled near Island Grove--the woods skirting Spring Creek--a mile or two northwest of the site of old Berlin. There he met Theophilus Sweet, a Baptist preacher of the old school. It was not long until Mr. Sweet was in accord with Mr. Scott in his Christian faith and preaching. Their united labors soon developed a Christian Church on Spring Creek that met for worship in the log schoolhouse. It was doubtless organized there. Much as we admire those brave pioneers whose voices rang true to the word of God, still we are reminded that they were fallible. In a time after the beginning of this church, one of its members, named William Grant, accused Preacher Andrew Scott in plain speech of lying. Of his defense the subjoined documents have come down to us:

TAZWELL COUNTY, Illinois, June 30th, 1830.--We whose names are undersigned, having been formerly members of the church at Spring Creek in Sangamon County, by permission of the church in the big grove on Kickapoo, do send to the churches and all whom the presents may concern, that Brother Andrew Scott was and is a minister in good standing among us. Signed: ISAAC CARLOCK, JAMES R. SCOTT, SAMUEL P. GLENN, LEVINA MARTIN, RUTH B. GLEN, JOHN P. GLEN, DANIEL VINCENT, NANCY GLEN, ANN VINCENT. I, John Glen, a member of the church of Christ at Big Grove, Kickapoo, do hereby certify that I have known Andrew Scott for forty years, and that I ever did consider him a man of truth and strictly honest. Given under my hand this 10th day of June, 1830. Signed: JOHN GLEN.

The genuineness of these documents is attested by the following: I, M. B. Robertson, a Justice of the Peace in and for Sangamon County, Illinois, do hereby certify that the above are accurate copies of letters of commendation received by Andrew Scott, from the above parties. Given under my hand and seal this 15th day of October, 1913. M. B. ROBERTSON, Justice of the Peace. BERLIN, Illinois, Oct. 15, 1913.

From these statements it is clear that there was a church of Christ in Big Grove, on the Kickapoo, in 1830. Nine members of this church had previously been members of the Spring Creek congregation. The latter was formed previous to this time, probably near 1825, the year after Messrs. Scott and Sweet began to work together.

Those who are curious will be interested in the following. On the reverse side of the sheet of paper containing the above testimonials this certificate is written: This is to sertify that I was at the meten on Spring Creek for the perpes of setlen of Deficelty betwen Brother Scott and Brother Grant he charges Brother Scott of lying But DID not prov it it was not setled to the satisfaction of Brother Scott But was left to ware out. JESSE WILSON.

The Church of Christ in Big Grove, on Kickapoo, was short-lived, or soon met in another place under another name. None of the historians mention it, nor is there a tradition of it in the memories of octogenarians."

Andrew and Anna had 11 children:

1. Gaddial D.- b. 9 Aug 1809 Jackson (now Clay) co. Tenn. d. 18 Jun 1880 Galesburg, Ill. m/1. 25 July 1833 Island Grove, Sangamon co. Ill. Susan Sexton b. 25 May 1810 Knox co. Ky. d. 22 Jan 1875 Knox co. Ill.; 8 to 13 children. m/2. 9 Nov 1876 Knox co. Ill. Sarah Margaret Clark Hobbs b. 9 Sep 1824 Pa. or Cadiz, Harrison Co., Ohio d. 10 Jun 1880 Knox township, Knox co. Ill.; buried Hope cemetery, Galesburg, Knox co. Ill., d/o Thomas & Eleanor Barr Clark.

2. Nancy- b. 22 Feb 1811 Lincoln co. Ky. d. 27 Nov 1886 Des Moines, Polk co. Iowa m. 30 Jun 1830 Sangamon co. Ill. John Slatten s/o Joseph & Martha Allen Slatten b. 5 Feb 1809 Garrard co. Ky. d. 7 Mar 1881 Des Moines, Polk co. Iowa. At least 8 children.

3. James L.- b. 12 Jan 1813 Giles co. Tenn. d. 10 Jan 1898 Polk co. Iowa m. 31 Oct 1839 Jefferson co. Iowa Mary Ann Gilmer b. 18 Dec 1818 Adair co. Ky. d. 3:35 PM, 18 July 1909 at the home of her youngest child, Mrs. H. E. Bollinger, from the effects of a broken hip suffered around Dec 1908; 12 children, 8 survived. James was elected the first sheriff of Jefferson county, Iowa, about the time he got married, and served for five years.

4. Elizabeth A.- b. 20 Jan 1815 Harrison co. Ind. d. 2 Mar 1888 Dewitt co. Ill. m. 17 Jun 1834 John Maxwell II b. 18 Apr 1807 North Carolina d. 5 Jan 1891 Dewitt co. Ill., both buried Rock Creek Cemetery. 10 children.

5. Anna Creighton- b. 21 Jan 1817 Orange co. Ind. d. 16 Apr 1909 Fairfield, Iowa; m. 11 Dec 1855 Sangamon co. Ill. Robert Tilford Gilmer b. 21 Jan 1817 Adair co. Kentucky d. 31 May 1902 Fairfield, Iowa; they lived near Glasgow, Jefferson co. Iowa. 3 children, one survived. Yes, Anna's middle name was Creighton (or Crayton), proving again that John Wilson Scott's mother's maiden name was Creighton, not Wilson.

6. Willson Alexander- b. 20 Nov 1818 Crawford co. Ind. d. 2:15 AM, 23 Jun 1859 near Ft. Kearney, Nebraska, while on his way to Pike's Peak; He donated to the state of Iowa the 9 1/2 acres on which the capitol now stands; after he died, his body was brought back to Des Moines, and there is a marker where he was buried. He m. Louisa _____ b. ca. 1826 Missouri d. after 1860. She was said to have the last name Jayne, and the maiden name Crose, the widow of an Indian interpreter who had been a friend of his. She was of French and Indian parentage. There is a marriage record in Jackson county, Missouri, that on 4 Mar 1847, Wilson A. Scott married Louisa Saclair or Laclair, and since there is no Wilson Scott in the 1850 for Jackson county, this is most likely him. However, there is a copy of the photo of them with a marriage date of 21 October (no year) written on it. I believe the family tradition of her name may be less reliable than the marriage record, and her name may have been actually Louisa Jayne Crose Le Claire, widow of Pierre Le Claire, a noted Indian interpreter of the frontier. In one record, though, it was said that Wilson Scott's friend was much younger than him, and Pierre Le Claire was not. Louisa was said to have moved to California after her husband's death, but she continued to live in Polk county, Iowa, in 1860. No children.

7. Caleb Longest- b. 22 Dec 1821 Richland, Sangamon co. Ill. d. 29 Feb 1892 Larned, Pawnee county Kansas m. 21 Oct 1860 Wooster, Jefferson co. Iowa Charlotte K. Templeton b. 9 Oct 1827 Wayne co. Ohio d. 22 Mar 1901 Lyons, Rice co. Kansas; they had 6 children

8. John W.- b. 3 Jun 1824 Sangamon co. Ill. d. 22 July 1900 Ill. m. 7 Sept 1848 Sangamon co. Ill. Martha Yates b. 9 July 1823 Warsaw, Gallatin co. Ky. d. 22 Nov 1916 New Berlin, Sangamon co. Ill.; they lived in Berlin, Sangamon co. Ill. and had at least 9 children. Martha's brother was Richard Yates Sr., governor of Illinois during the Civil War; their grandfather Henry Yates laid out the first plat of the town of Berlin, Illinois in 1836.

9. Dorinda- b. 12 Dec 1828 Sangamon co. Ill. d. 9 or 19 Mar 1894 Sangamon co. Ill. m. 29 Apr 1847 William Thompson Hughs b. 12 Jan 1818 Adair co. Ky. d. 21/22 July 1896 Sangamon co. Ill., both buried Oak Ridge Cemetery, Springfield.; they lived in Elkhart, Logan co. Ill. and had 2 children
