Biography

p. 12-13: 'David Scott, Stella Houghton's husband, was the son of James and Jane Scott of South Carolina. He was born there on April 5, 1792. Later he moved to Jefferson County, Ala., where he engaged in mercantile enterprises in Elyton, Tuscaloosa and Marion. He sold out his mercantile interests and formed a stock company for the establishment of cotton, woolen, flour and lumber mills at Scottsville, Ala. (the town named for him). He continued in the manufacturing business till the mills were burned by the Union Army in April 1865 in what was known as Wilson's Raid, an offshoot of Sherman's Army. He was one of the pioneers in settling Tuscaloosa, which became his home when he married Stella Houghton at the home of Dr. James Gulds of Tuscaloosa. He was a man of great energy and sterling character, was noted for his generosity and fine business qualifications - was enterprising and liberal in his gifts to church and educational institutions. He died at the home of John W. McConnell in Scottsville in August 1868."
Scottsville located in Bibb County, Ala. about fifty miles southeast of Tuscaloosa, seeems to have become a 'ghost town'. The city clerk of Tuscallosa writes that he never heard of it. However, in an 'Atlas of the World' published in 1934, Scottsville is shown on the map of Alabama and while no population is given, the town is listed in the census of 1930....
Four years after the death of his first wife, Stella Houghton, Daivd Scott married Mary Elizabeth Marshall and they had four children. Later he married a third time. This, Elizabeth Hiddings Otis, was a sister of his first wife, Stella's brother, Albert Gallatin Houghton's wife, Harriet C. Otis. There were no children from this union.' Elizabeth Otis, friend of Stella Houghton, was third wife of David Scott.'

p. 23, "David Scott, husband of Stella Houghton took a second wife - Mary Elizabeth Marshall. She had four children. David Marshall Scott (3 children and many grandchildren) Ella Scott Herrick Margaret Linda Scott Mary Elizabeth Scott. He took a third wife, Eliza Hidding Otis - sister of Harriet C. Otis, wife of Albert Gallatin Houghton, his first wife's brother. There were no children."⁵

Love: "...after the death of her husband...she returned North and later married Dr. Giles N. Langdon of New Haven, Conn., who was the widower of her sister. Mary Pardee was the daughter of Deacon Phineas Pardee and Irma Lewis Pardee. The Pardee line goes back directly through Noah, Benjamin, Eliphalet, George Jr., and George, who was born in Pitminster, Somersetshire England, in 1624. He settled in New Haven in 1644, at which time he changed his name from Par Dieu to Pardee. The family traces back to the Huguenot ancestors, and the Huguenot Society has accepted George Pardee as an eligible ancestor."¹

Biography

Love: "Her husband Joseph W. Hancock, was teaching school in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. They contuined to live there until May 1849, when having recieved the appointment to go as missionaries among the Dakota Indians west of the Mississippi River, they set out for their destination, Red Wing, in Northwest Territory...A few years later her father, Rev. Joseph . Hancock, married Sarah Rankin, of Red Wing, Minn." He was a missionary to the Sioux Indians.

BOOK - HISTORY OF GOODHUE COUNTY, MN. PUBLISHED IN 1909. Joseph W. Hancock was born in Orford, N. H., April 4, 1816. He attended the public schools at that place and followed this by a course at the academy located in Bradford, Vt. As a young man he taught in various places in New England, and in 1841 started out for the West. He journeyed down the Ohio river to the Mississippi, and then caine north as far as Quincy, Ill. Here he taught school for a while and soon afterward had a class among the Winnebago Indians in Iowa. Later he taught a private school in Prairie du Chien, Wis. He found, however, that although he had come west for the sake of his health, the change of climate had not worked the desired change and consequently he returned to the East and spent some time at Saratoga, N. Y., where he found the water from the springs to be of great benefit. In 1846 he was united in marriage with Martha Maria Houghton. a sister of H. O. Houghton, the noted Boston publisher. In 1848 Mr. Hancock received a commission from the American Board of Foreign Missions to become a missionary to the Sioux Indians, west of the Mississippi, and was sent to the Indian, village of Red Wing, in the Northwest territory, where a band of Indians had long been located, and where missionary efforts had previously been conducted. The first white person known to have been buried within the limits of Goodhue county was the wife of Mr. Hancock. After two years of service among the Sioux her health gave away and she died March 21, 1851. To this union were born two children. William died in infancy, the other is Mrs. William Holliday. In 1852 he was married to Sarah Rankin, who died in March, 1859, leaving two children, Stella and James Otis. In October, 1860, he was united in marriage with Juliet Thompson, who died in 1897. Mr. Hancock began preaching to the early settlers in 1852, and in January, 1855, organized the First Presbyterian Church of Red Wing, of which he was pastor for seven years. During the remainder of his life he was connected with that church. He helped to organize the Winona presbytery in 1855, being one of the three clergymen who founded it. In addition to his religious work, Mr. Hancock was in various capacities connected with the civic life of the community. He was first postmaster in Red Wing, and was appointed by Governor Ramsey, territorial governor of Minnesota, as register of deeds in 1855. In the fall of that year he was elected to the office by the people. He was deeply interested in educational affairs and in the early history of the community had much to do in shaping the school interests. From 1862 to 1865 he was superintendent of schools in Goodhue county, and from 1870 to 1880 again served in the same capacity. His latter years were spent practically in retirement. He published a short history of the county in 1893, and to his writings the managers of the present publication are greatly indebted.⁶
