-- Bradford Ripley Alden Scott: Memoirs of the Civil War

The Scott Siblings

The following are the children of James McClure Scott and Sarah Travers Lewis. I don't have dates, but I have tried to list them in approximately the order of their birth, so far as I can infer the sequence from the Scott memoirs or other sources. The references in square brackets ("[]") are hyperlinks to the paragraphs which mention each family member.

John Thomson; married a MCMORRIS. John was the oldest son, and attended West Point. He also had spent some time in "Bleeding Kansas" before the war. By the end of the war he served as adjutant at Galveston.

Elizabeth Lewis; married John MINOR.

Alfred Lewis; married a TAYLOR from Alabama, the sister of General E. A. Perry's wife. Judging from the memoirs, he served in Company G of the 9th Alabama infantry, and later served on General Perry's staff. He saw action at Chancellorsville.

Mary Ann.

James McClure; married a DICKINSON or DICKENSON. He enlisted in the Fredericksburg Artillery, later transferred to the cavalry, and saw action at Sharpsburg and Brandy Station.
[1] [2] [3] [4]

John Zachary Holladay; married a DASWELL. Since there was already a John in the family, this one went by "Zachary". The Scott memoirs refer to him as "Zack". He evidently served as a scout under General Hampton.

Richmond Lewis.

Sarah Travers Lewis; married Charles Harper ANDERSON (the brother of Mary Miller Anderson, who married Bradford Ripley Alden Scott). Sarah is presumably the "Sallie" mentioned in the Scott memoirs.
[1]

Lucian.

Lewis M.; married a BOYLE. The memoirs refer to Lewis as "my next older brother," and mention that he had enlisted but had been discharged as too young for the service. Evidently he was only a few years older than the author.
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Bradford Ripley Alden; married Mary Miller ANDERSON (the sister of Charles Harper Anderson, who married Sarah Travers Lewis Scott). Known as "Alden", he is the author of the memoirs published here.

Anne Elizabeth.

Mildred Vivian; married a THURMAN.

William.

Frances Greenhow. The youngest sister, she was known as "Green" or "Greenie".

I have further information, not listed here, about the descendants of these Scotts. If you would like to share information, please email me.
