ANDREW SCOTT was born April 11, 1847, near Medora, Lawrence County, Indiana, a son of JOHN P. and CYNTHIA (DODD) SCOTT. His father was born about 1812, in Kentucky, a member of a pioneer family of that state which was of German origin. There he was married to CYNTHIA DODD, also a member of an old and prominent family, and at an early day in the history of Indiana they removed to that state and settled in Lawrence County, where they devoted the remaining years of their lives to agricultural pursults. They were typical pioneers of that district, sturdy, courageous and God-fearing, and played a part in the development of the Hoosier State. JOHN P. SCOTT was a man of very strong convictions, of high principles and of good business talents.

JOHN P. and CYNTHIA SCOTT were the parents of the following children: ELIZABETH, who is now Mrs. JOSEPH HENDERSON, of Jackson County, Indiana; MARY JANE, who died in infancy; NEWTON, a resident of Lawrence County, Indiana; ANDREW, of this notice; SOPHIA, who is now Mrs. LOCKMAN and resides at Paris, Illinois; LOUISE, who lives in Mississippi, and EMILY M.
