It's said that both Andrew and Sarah were blind or nearly so in their
older
days, although I have yet to see a census report showing either one of
them as blind (in fact, Andrew was a rather prosperous farmer in his
day). On 10 Nov 1854, while in Clinton (Dewitt county), Abraham
Lincoln wrote
a plea and notice in a case between Lorenzo Scott (seemingly his
cousin) and Andrew C. Scott;
on 16 Nov 1854, Lincoln was working for the defense in Lorenzo Scott v.
Joseph Winkel and Andrew Scott, when the case was dismissed by
agreement with cousel for plaintiff.
There's somebody who claims that Andrew married 26 Feb 1845 Woodstock,
McHenry co. Illinois Sarah Ann Sponer, d/o Isaac & Anna A. Perry Sponer,
b. 26 Oct 1820 Woodstock, Ill., and they had 10 children. It certainly
isn't this Andrew, but that bad info is out there.
Andrew and Sarah had 2 children:
-
Nancy Ann- b. 1849/50 (30 May 1849?) Dewitt co. Ill. d. Dec
1866 Daviess co. Missouri m. 22 Mar 1864 Daviess co.
Mo. James Land s/o William Enos & Elizabeth B. Glenn Land
b. 5 Apr 1842 Iowa; they had one child:
-
Nancy Ann-
b. 17 Nov 1865 (mortuary records) or Dec 1866 (census) Daviess co.
Mo.
d. 22 May 1933 Denver, Colorado (1643 Lawrence St. #322), buried
Fairmount
Cemetery. m. 31 Dec 1885 Daviess co. Mo. William
Andrew Scott s/o William Liddell (II) & Drucilla Cox Scott b.
22 Apr 1860 Dewitt co. Ill. d. 5 Nov 1929 Dewitt co. Ill.
William's
obituary stated they lived in Denver, Colorado from about 1886 until
shortly
before William Andrew's death, but in fact they lived in Daviess co.
Mo.
until around 1906/7 when they moved to Hayes co. Nebraska, and
lived there until about 1927, when they moved to Denver. 7
children, 2 died young.
-
Mary Jane- b. 1852 (12 Aug 1852?) Dewitt co. Ill. d. 7 Feb
1915 Norton co. Kansas (pneumonia) m. 28 Aug 1913 Caldwell,
Canyon co. Idaho John Peter Glenn
s/o James William & Mildred Murphy Glenn b. 27 Nov 1840 Jefferson
co. Iowa d. 28 Jan 1915 Norton, Norton co. Kansas (of pneumonia).
John was m/1 to Barbara Ann Cassiday and m/2 to Matilda Mary Scott, d/o
William
Liddell & Nancy Scott. I have not been able to find Mary
in the 1900 census. John served in the Civil War, Co. B, 8th Iowa
Cavalry, enlisted 26 Jun 1863, and was discharged 14 Aug 1865, while living
in Wymore, Gage county Nebraska.
