grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was a native of Kentucky, and 
died in Dade County, Mo., in 1858, at the age of seventy-five years.  
Emerson C. Scott came to Missouri at the age of twenty-two years, and was 
married in 1845 to Miss Tucker.  He pre-empted 300 acres in Section 3, 
Township 26, Range 26, where he located, and where he passed his life.  
He was killed, after night, in his own house, in June, 1863, two men 
committing the dastardly deed.  Amanda (Tucker) Scott was born in Middle 
Tennessee, December 10, 1822, and is the daughter of James and Catherine 
Tucker, who were residents of Dade County, Mo., in Center Township.

Narcissa C., born in 1846, the wife of J. J. Winkle; James R., Alexander 
Hamilton, Albert H., William E., Oliver P., Sterling Price and Emerson Co.
James R., the eldest son, was reared and grew to manhood on a farm.  In 
1873 he married Miss Sarah C. Studdard, a native of McMinn County, Tenn., 
born in 1853, and the daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Harleson) Studdard, of 
Dade County, Mo., the former born in 1793, and the mother in 1812, in North
Carolina.  They died in 1857 and 1882, respectively.  Mr. and Mrs. Scott
