************Information taken from Civil War records
William Scott was listed as a Farmer on the census records......I
also found out from Civil War records that William had worked on
the Indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad(1868--1873)at a Stone
Quarry(Switzerland Stone Quarry, near Spencer 1874--1885)
William W. Scott was in Co. F. 6 Reg't Indiana Cavalry.....
According to his Civil War Records William was 5 feet 7 1/2
inches tall , with fair complexion, dark eyes, dark hair and was
a Farmer......he enlisted Aug. 15, 1862 from Terre Haute for 3
years.......It also has him listed as Teamaster and
Wagoner.....There was a time period where he also got extra pay
for being a cook in Terre Haute.
(In his own words) William was wounded on or about the 30th
day of August, 1862 at Richmond, KY....during the battle on that
day and while in line...by a piece of spent shell over the left
eye on the head. the force of the shell knocked me down and
rendered me unconscious and I did not come to until I had been
carried away to the rear by some of my comrades, but I can't
remember who carried my away....they had a kind of Regt. hospital
they had there at the time and I was taken to that at the time
and was treated there by our Regt. Surgeon who dressed the
would after which I went back about 1 1/2 or 2 miles to our
old Camp ground, where I remained until late that evening and saw
other wounded men were there put in wagons and sent to Lexington,
KY...At Lexington were placed in hospital and remained there
until evening of that day. There was then.....that the
rebels were coming on us and some of us desired to go with our
Cos. but could not get permission, and three of us ........on
foot and that night we fell in with some of our own men and teams
and rode on the wagons to Franklin , KY, arriving
there.........about 7 or 8 oclock. One of the two men
who was with me was named Church, ........ ........ not
remember..and do not know what Co. he belonged to, but understand
he is deaf. The other man I do not remember, but remembered
he did not belong to our Regt. I received no medical treatment at
Franklin. I washed and dressed my wound myself at Franklin
where I joined the few men on my Co. that were left. and served
with them afterward. The hospital treatment I have
described was all I ever received for said wound. I am of
the belief that the skull was slightly fractured and times there
is a disagnerable throbbing sensation that is painful, extending
downward toward and to the left ear. My left eye is
rendered weak and watery by reason of said wound. I was of
good hearing in both ears prior to my enlistment in service, and
about a month after receiving said wound the hearing of my left
ear began to be affected and has continued to grow worse ever
since. and I believe that I am incapacitated from doing manual
labor on account of said wound to my head and results, one
half. On or about the 10th day of July 1864, at or near
Chattahochie River, Georgia, while on the skirmish line, I was
wounded in the right fore finger by what I believed to be a
musket ball, cutting away the point and first joint. Our
Regt. was there but I can't say how many of the Regt. were on the
skirmish line. There was quite a body of Rebels, who were
on one side of the river in line and we were on the other side of
river. The river was 50 or 60 yards wide at the point we
were at. It was not a regular battle, only a
skirmish. We skirmished off and on pretty much all
day. No one was in my immediate vicinity at the time my
finger was injured. I was at my own station. I think
the intervals between me and the skirmishs on my immediate right
and left hand, I think was about a couple of hundred yards as
nearly as I can now estimate. We were on foot. I was
behind a rail pile and stepped out for the purpose of getting
some bough to make a shade to protect me from the sun. I
did not have my gun in my hand, but stood it down a step or two
away, at the time the bullet hit my finger I returned
behind the rail pile after being wounded and remained there until
regularly relieved. There was no Surgeon in Camp and I went
to the hospital Steward whose name I do not recollect and he
dressed my finger. I never was treated in hospital at all
for said injury, except as above stated. I was detailed as
Right Teamster shortly after the fight at Richmond, Ky. as
stated, I drove Regt. Team. I was detailed to drive or lead
a pack train of 5 or 6 mules and followed that about up to time I
was wounded in finger in fact I was in charge of the mule pack
train at the time I was wounded in the finger. The pack
train accompanied our Regt. all the time I was in charge of
it. I happened to get on the skirmish line because some of
my comrades asked me if I came to be detailed to go on skirmish
line and I said I did not and was then detailed as a skirmisher
as I have stated. I was on detail as teamster at Brigade
head quarters afterwards. I was driving team after I
wounded in finger up to time of discharge. I was never
captured and paroled either at Richmond, KY or any other place
serving my entire service. We went to a place below
Louisville, KY and from there our Regt. was sent home to
recuperate...... up, and remained at Terre Haute and
Indianapolis, Ind. about to the best of my recollection, 5 or 6
months. and then we were sent to the front again. I
returned from picket the morning that my finger was shot
off. about 9 or 10 o'clock. No sir, at the time I
returned to Camp after my finger was shot I never told any of my
comrades that I was loading my gun at the time of receiving the
wound in my finger. I don't remember that I ever told any
of my comrades any other story about the way I received wound of
finger. than that I have now told you. No sir, I did
not shoot my right finger off, nor the end of the right for
finger. I believe I am incapacitated one forth from
performing manual labor, by reason of the said gun shot wound of
my right finger. I have understood all your questions I
think and my answers there to are correctly written in this
disposition I have resided ever since my discharge from service
in the vicinity of Spencer and Freedom, Owen Co.,Ind.........this
was witnessed by Thomas H. Myers and Armsted Dyar who also both
gave statements as to William's character......this document was
signed with an X by William W. Scott on September 27, 1889.
These proceedings were because of alligations that
William was a coward...and supposedly shot off his own
finger....but the Special examiner decided in William's favor as
no proof was found that he did that....he said the solider was
not a coward....and all findings showed he deserved the pension
applied for.
Also in William Scott's Civil War records it has about 3
conflicting birth dates for him....so I don't think we will ever
know for sure when William was born as he stated that there was
no record of his birth that he is aware of....not even in a
Family Bible....

I have a copy of her funeral Record....it states She lived in
Freedom and died there....Funeral services at Freedom, at 1:00,
Rev.Albritton, certifying Physician Jas. T. Hazel of Freedom,IN.
Cause of death, Bronchial Pneumonia....she was a housewife....she
was a widow and her religion was Baptist...date of birth 16 Sep
1840....age 83yrs, 8months, 18 days. Name of Father: Andrew
Jackson his birthplace:KY. Name of Mother Elizabth Elliot,
her birthplace:KY. Interment at Hicks Cemetery.total price
of funeral $165.
We visited Hicks Cemetery and found a Civil War marker for
William, but there was no marker for Mary Ann's grave....assuming
that she was buried next to William. According to Wm.'s
Civil War pension records, I would say that Mary Ann, didn't have
much money when she died, as she was living with her daughter
Lula who was caring for her, and the county paid $50. toward the
funeral expenses. Probably why there is no marker there for
her.
