LEVIN N. SCOTT, a citizen of Yolo, in Yolo County, retired from active business,
is a son of Robert J. and Charlotte Scott, the former a native of North
Carolina, and the latter of Maryland, who emigrated in early day to Adams
County, Ohio, where Levin was born, December 6, 1820. He was but five years of
age when the family moved with him to Illinois, where they remained for
twenty-five years, the father being a farmer most of the time. In 1841 Mr.
Scott, our subject, married Miss Wyatt, and had one daughter, Jamima Ann. She
died in Illinois, in February, 1843, and in 1847 Mr. Scott married Miss N A.
Daughhetee, a native of Illinois. In 1850 they came overland to this State,
stopping first in Nevada County, after a journey of six months and five days.
Here Mr. Scott remained about seventeen years, engaged in farming and
merchandising about three miles from Nevada City, on Rock Creek. He then moved
into Placer County, purchased a ranch and was engaged in its cultivation until
1889, when he disposed of it and bought a fine large residence of fourteen
rooms, situated on a thirty-acre tract of land in Cacheville. There are now four
children in the family, and two have died. The living are George H., Mary C,
Edgar C. and James F.; and the deceased are Edward B. and Nancy A. Mary C. is
now the wife of J. P., Williams, and has one child, named Mamie I. George, the
eldest son, is now engaged in freighting goods through the mountains from
Lincoln and Auburn to Michigan Bluff, Forest Hill, etc., and Edgar C. is
attending the Commercial College at Woodland.
