SCOTT, PICKLE, CHITWOOD



E. M. SCOTT is a son of John L. SCOTT, who was born in Lincoln County,

Tenn., in 1824, and whose people came from North Carolina at a very early

date and located where Nashville now stands.  Our subject's grandfather was

a Revolutionary soldier, and died in Tennessee when over ninety years of

age.  Our subject's father died in 1854.  The mother was born in Lincoln

County in 1822, and is now the wife of Squire PICKLE*, and resides in the

Eleventh District.  At the age of sixteen our subject joined the army,

serving in Company C, Eighth Tennessee Infantry nine months, and then

joined Company K, Fourth Tennessee Cavalry, and participated in many bloody

engagements.  He was captured near Knoxville, but made his escape the same

day.  He returned home May 18, 1865.  In 1866 he married M. T. CHITWOOD,

daughter of William CHITWOOD.  She was born in Lincoln County in 1849, and

six children were born to their union:  Ophelia, John L., Clemmie, Willie,

Thomas R. and Ella.  Mr. SCOTT has always been a farmer, and is the owner

of 181 acres of valuable and well improved land.  He and wife are members

of the Primitive Baptist Church, and he is a Democrat in politics.
