He continued to reside under the parental roof until reaching man's estate, and after his parents became old and infirm he took care of them for several years. In the spring of 1818 the family settled on the farm now owned by Andrew Ridue. This is situated on Opossum Creek, in Buffalo Township, Noble County, then comprised within the limits of this county. There they took a lease and placed a large acreage under cultivation, raising tobacco as their staple crop. In addition to farming, James Scott worked as a carpenter, building many houses and barns in this vicinity. In 1834 he invested what money he had saved in a farm in Valley Township, now known as the Solomon Longwood place. This comprised one hundred and sixty acres, and to this he afterward added forty four acres. The house, which is still standing on this homestead, was built by Mr. Scott about 1853. In 1834 he was first married to Miss Elizabeth Shaw. Their only child, Harriet, became the wife of Richard Dickerson. Some years after the death of Mrs. Elizabeth (Shaw) Scott, January 6 1842, the father married Eliza, daughter of Simeon and Anna (Hart) Dickerson. To James and Eliza Scott were born Henry C.: Sarah Ann, (Mrs. James B. McDonald) Winfield, Mary Jane, (Mrs. David N. Secrest) now of Kansas: Theodore Parker, who died at the age of twelve years: Charles Wilber, who married Emma Secrest, and lives on the old homestead: and Eliza, who has long been a member of the Baptist Church, and who is noted for her acts of kindness and love toward the sick, destitute and suffering. Note: There was no daughter Eliza...this is a mistake ....Eliza was Eliza Dickerson, wife of James Scott, not a daughter. James Scott was a typical pioneer of the West. He wore a suit made of buckskin and kept his table supplied with an abundance of wild game. He was a fine shot and always won a large share of the turkeys put up at the numerous matches that formed a feature of the country sports of those days. Like many hunters of large game, he despised a shot-gun and never used one. A man of vigorous constitution, he was strong and hardy until about three years before his death, which occurred November 18, 1894, when he had, attained the good old age of ninety-one years. With the exception of 1856-60 he voted in every Presidential election from that of Adams, in 1824, until the one which took place only a week or so before his death. On the dissolution of the Whig party he affiliated with the Democracy. One of his prominent characteristies was his scrupulous honesty and integrity. Note: James Scott was first married to Hannah Jane Bainum (sister to John Bainum, husband of James sister Jane) They married April 10, 1828 and divorced Nov 22, 1833, Guernsey Co. Ohio.
