  • Sarah Eliz. (b. ca. 1848)
  • Mary Ann (b. 1850)

Sometime between July 1829 and when son John was born in 1830, William and his family immigrated to Indiana. In 1831, William purchased Town Lot #48 in Crawfordsville, Indiana, and was later listed as the proprietor of the Crane House hotel in Crawfordsville in the Sugar Creek Saga.

After marrying for the second time in 1831, William moved on to Texas and received a Land Grant for 320 acres in Nacogdoches County in 1839. By 1840, Nancy, his second wife, was listed in the 1840 census as living with her father and her two children by William in Brown Township, Montgomery County, Indiana. In 1845, William and Nancy sold the Town Lot #48 purchased in 1831 and were granted a divorce that same year. Nancy retained custody of her two children.

William enlisted on 9 June 1846 as a 2nd Corporal, Company G, 1st Regiment of Kentucky Cavalry and found in the Mexican War, mustering out at New Orleans on 7 June 1847. Shortly thereafter, he married for the third time and by 1850 was living in Kaufman County, Texas, with his new wife and the children of his first marriage as well as two additional children of his third marriage.

Between 1851 and 1853 the county boundaries for Kaufman and Van Zandt counties were realigned and where William and family were living was then considered to be Van Zandt County. He was later listed a County Commissioner for Van Zandt County and was initiated into Masonic Lodge #133 in Dallas County, Texas.

While two of William’s sons, Joseph and John fought for the C.S.A during the Civil War and William acted as a Conscription Agent, his son Farmer J. James fought for the Union Army. William’s estate was probated in January 1876, listing the surviving widow Mary and the six children from three marriages as heirs. He is buried in the New Hope Cemetery

They landed first in Quebec, Canada, and entered the United States at New York City and lived at Gary, Lake County, Indiana, for about five or six years before moving to St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota, about 1856 because they did not like the Indiana climate. The family lived at Fort Snelling in the 1860’s.

In 1872, George and Bridget purchased their farm at Nicols Station, Dakota County, Minnesota. After George’s death, the farm was owned by his son George and then was passed on to the children of George, Jr., after his death. A big cloverleaf is located on the land due to the construction of an interstate highway.

George Scott’s brother Richard, who immigrated to the United States from Ireland in 1851, also homesteaded in Minnesota. George and Richard had two sisters, Mary, born 1808 and Honora, born 1817, and a brother John, born 1810. However, it is not known whether George, Richard, or Mary emigrated from Ireland.
