Alexander & Dianner Atherton Scott family

Alexander Scott s/o John Wilson II & Mary Keith Scott b. 2 Aug 1810 Jackson (now Clay) co. Tenn. d. 25 May 1881 Daviess co. Mo.  m. 18 Feb 1831 Tazewell co. Ill. (by his uncle Martin Scott) Dianner Atherton d/o Jonathan Sr. & Elizabeth Brown Atherton  b. 25 Feb 1815 Grayson co. Ky. d. 28 Jun 1893 Daviess co. Mo.  They moved to Pike co. Ill. in the 1840's; he is shown in the 1840 census in Dewitt county as "Alexander Scott Jr.".  They are not listed in the 1860 census; by 1870 they are in Daviess co. Mo.  In 1880 Alexander's occupation was listed as "notary public".  Her name is spelled "Dianner" on her tombstone, so I've chosen to consider that the correct spelling.  13 children, 7 survived:
