(1950) WILLIAM THORNTON SCOTT', son of Samuel and Martha (McCorkle) Scott; was born April 3, 1812. His mother, Martha (McCorkle) Scott, was a sister of Joseph McCorkle. The father died when he was but eight years old, but the mother lived to be ninety-five. Many times she related to this her youngest child the stories of the trials and privations of her early life when her parents came as pioneers to Kentucky, and their narrow escape from the Indians at Boon Station. She also told him of his father's going with the volunteer forces raised to march against Ferguson in North Carolina. There is no record of Samuel Scotts' service in this battle, but William Thornton Scott, who lived to be eighty-three years and ten months old (died Feb., 1896), left a written statement of the facts in the case, and upon this statement several descendants of Samuel Scott have joined the Revolutionary Society of this country. William T. Scott was a member of one of these and was invited by the Sons of the American Revolution to attend their meeting in Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 7, 1895. This meeting was held on North Carolina day of the Atlanta Exposition. There were many patriotic speeches, one by W. T. Scott, the only surviving son of the nine hundred patriots of that battle. When the civil war broke out he, being too old to go himself, sent three sons to fight for the Union. After the close of the war the family moved to Holton, Kansas. His daughter, Mrs. Martha A. Hand, served several years as State Regent for the Daughters of the Revolution in Kansas. She joined this society in recognition of her grandfather, Samuel Scott's service at King's Mountain. W. T. Scott was a member of the Presbyterian Church, serving as ruling elder for over fifty years. He attended three General Assemblies as delegate, an honor conferred on few elders. It was my good fortune to see and know this good man. He was an unusually good conversationalist, and being possessed of a remarkable memory, could relate many interesting and amusing incidents relating to early history of the family. He told of attending the wedding of Samuel Scott Walker (my grandfather) and Sarah Allen; "Scott Walker," as he was called, being a nephew of T. W. Scott's. He also mentioned the fact that his father's family of fifteen children were never at home at one time, some of the older ones being married and living in homes of their own before he, the youngest one, was born.

Civil War, and on being mustered out a year later, organized the 18th Indiana Battery, in which he served until the end of the war, part of his detachment aided in the capture of Jefferson Davis and his party, and he emerged from the Georgia woods to learn that peace had been declared three weeks before. In the spring of 1869 he removed to Holton, Kansas, a town at that time of less than three hundred people and no railroads. He was appointed postmaster in 1871 and held the office seventeen years. He took an active interest in the history of Eastern Kansas, and as owner and editor of the Holton Recorder, won and held the respect of all who had the good fortune to know him; he published many newspaper articles under the non-de-plume of "Adam Croaker."
