Lillian Jane Scott was born in the Cold Water community of Cabarrus County. Later her family moved to the Smith Grove community in Davidson County across the Yadkin River from Spencer, Rowan County. Her parents and some siblings are all buried in the Smith Grove Baptist Church Cemetery. Her mother, Kate Pure Suther Scott, was born in South America. Her grandparents, Willian Crawford and Laura D. Suther were Baptist Missionaries. Both died in Texas during the winter of 1874-75. They were returning home from the Mission field. A relative went to Texas to pick up Kate and a brother and return them to North Carolina. There she lived in the Coldwater Community on the Bradfford Farm. Kate met Martin Luther Scott, who was building the Bradford brick home. They would later be married.
Through Lillian's father, Martin Luther Scott, the family tree can be traced back many generation to the mid-18th century. Will Scott came to this country from Scotland through Ireland. They were Scotch Irish in background. There are several Scott Tartans used by the Scott family. The Scotts were "Borders" coming from the lowlands near the English Border. This means her descendants qualify as Scott's in the official registry of Scottish descents.
The family of her mother, Suthers, are of Greman speaking Swiss descent. The immigrant, Joseph Suther, is buried at St. John's Lutheran Church Cemetery, also in the Coldwater community of Cabarrus county.
She had five Children with her husband: William Clarence "Buck" Peurifoy, David Grier "Doc" Peurifoy, Elizabeth Louise "Lib" Peurifoy, Raymond Patterson "Pat" Peurifoy, and Robert "Bobby" Eugene Peurifoy. She had nine grandchildren: Edward, Rebecca, Patricia, Sandy, Robert, Mary Jane, Jeff, Karen and Scott.
During the second World War she was the only five star mother in Cabarrus county with all her children serving in the military.
She lived with her husband in Concord on Church Street, about where the "old" Armory now stands. Later they would build a home on Meadow Street. Their marriage ended in 1938.
For many years she worked in the old Lock Mill textile factory. She was a faithful member of Forest Hill Methodist Church.
A woman of dignity she is still cherished by her family.
