Contributed by Liz Eads **(Take note that the obit says birth is Sep 6 but if you calculate the date of birth by the Death certificate it comes out to Nov 6. The 1900 Census states his birth as Sep 1832. Other sources state his birth is in June. What do we want to believe? Martha Byrnes has information that his birthdate was 6 Sep 1831 From "Genealogical Record of the Descendants of Thomas Scott, born 1744...edited by C.S. Scott, Phoenix, Arizona, published 1902)
Note: tombstone says 74 yrs 5ms 7ds which is calulated as 6 Sep 1832
