  • Notes 
    • At the time of this writing (23 Jan 2013), direct evidence regarding the parentage of John C. Scott has not yet been discovered. However, there is very strong circumstantial evidence to support assignment of James L. Scott and Joanna Hansen has his parents.

      1) In the 1830 census, 18 families were listed in Township No 1, 8th Range, later known as Chester.
      2) James L. Scott's family was the only family known by that surname in the area.
      3) A total of 10 children were listed with James Scott's household.
      4) Family tradition passed down to other cousins supports the theory of John's parentage.
      5) Intermarriage among families was common in small towns, and John's niece, Caroline White (daughter of his sister Mary Scott White) married David Stanwood. John married David's sister, Mary Jane Stanwood.
      6) Several of the Stanwood, Scott and White families left Maine and traveled to the midwest sometime after 1865, and were enumerated in Monticello, Wright Co, MN in 1870. Among those were John's sister, Fanny Scott Leland, Mary Scott White, and their husbands. John and wife, Mary Jane, were enumerated next door to his sister and brother-in-law, Enos and Fanny Leland.
