SCOTT, CAPT. THOMAS - IRONTON JOURNAL Mar. 1, 1871
Died Feb. 12, 1871 at his home near Grayson, Carter Co., KY. 92yrs. Born PA
and when a small boy was brought to KY by his father, David SCOTT, who
descended the Ohio River with his family in a flat boat, landed at
Limestone, KY (now Maysville) where they met with Simon KENTON and others of
the early pioneers of KY. From Limestone, David SCOTT moved with his family
to a point where the city of Lexington now stands and while living there,
Capt. SCOTT, then but a boy, assisted in nailing the roof on the first house
built in Lexington. Shortly after, Capt. SCOTT arrived at 21, his father,
David SCOTT, died and he became his father's admin. and after closing up his
business as such, married Miss Elizabeth BOME, a lady of rare
accomplishments and a member of one of the best families in KY. Shortly
after his marriage, Capt. SCOTT removed to his present home in Carter Co.
and engaged himself in making and shipping, by wagon and on horseback,
overland, salt, to Lexington and other points in the interior of KY. In
1808, Capt. SCOTT cleared away the forest and raised a crop of corn on the
ground where the town of Grayson now stands. Capt. SCOTT was one of the
organizers of Carter Co. and Magistrate for many years, twice Sheriff under
2nd Constitution of KY. Capt. SCOTT remembered the early incidents of his
life and the settlement of KY, down to his late illness. When last at my
house, he spoke of his trip down the Ohio River in a flat boat, in
connection with his recent visit to his son's home (Robert SCOTT) of Ironton
OH and said it looked so strange, that where he saw a wilderness inhabited
by hostile Indians when a boy, there was now large cities, railroads, etc.
When then the hoot of the owl and the howl of the wolf broke the stillness
of a vast wilderness; now the sound of the steam whistle and buzz of
machinery attest the progress of civilization during his life.--E.B.
