************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....

W.W. Scott Dead

  William W. Scott, 79 years old, died Tuesday night of last week at his
home in Freedom, death resulting from a complication of diseases incident to
age.  His illness covered a period of several weeks.  Mr. Scott was a native
of Ohio and came to Indiana in his young manhood.
  Surviving him are the widow and nine children.  Two sons live in Illinois,
a daughter at Jasonville, Ind., and the remaining ones at Freedom.  A
sister, Mrs. Belle Hockman, of Freedom also survives him.  Funeral services

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.
