Goodspeed for Montgomery County, Arkansas 1888
Daniel Newton Scott. The agricultural affairs of Montgomery County, Ark., are ably represented among others, by Mr. Scott, who comes of a well known family, the Scotts of Kentucky. He was born in this county in 1854, to John and Susannah (Earp) Scott, the former born on Blue-Grass soil in 1818, and his wife a few years later, the nuptials of their marriage being celebrated in Tennessee, from which Slate they came to Montgomery County, Ark., some forty odd years ago, settled on land on the Caddo River, of which they made a good farm.
Mr. Scott was a lieutenant in Capt. Erwin's company Fourth Infantry Arkansas troops in the Trans. Mississippi Department, and was in the battle of Elk Horn, besides many others. His parents died when he was a small boy, and he was thus left with but little knowledge of his ancestors. He was for many years a member of the Missiousry Baptist Church, and diad in 1888.
His wife's father was an early settler of Polk County, Ark., and in that county he died prior to the war. Daniel Newton Scott was the eighth of eleven children born to his parents, and at the age of four years he was left without a mother's care and guidance. He was reared on a farm educated in the common shools of the neighborhood, also spending one year in the University of Arkansas, at Fayetteville. Two of his brothers served in Erwin's company, in the Confederate Army, William J., dying while in the service, the other brother, James A., coming through unharmed.
Daniel N. was first married in 1877 to Frances, the daughter of Thomas and Sallie Gore, but she died in Montgomery County, Ark., in 1880, having borne three children, two now living. Mr. Scott's second marriage took place in 1888, the maiden name of his wife being Holly Gray, daughter of Robert and Eveline Gray, who came from Georgia to Clark County, Ark., later becoming residents of Montgomery County, where Mr. Gray still lives, his wife having passed from life in Clark County, where Mrs. Scott was born. He and Mrs. Scott have two children. Since his first marriage Mr Scott has lived on his farm of 160 acres, 65 of which he has cleared by his own efforts, considerable of his attention being given to stock-raising also. Two of his brothers, James and Robert, reside in Texas. His sister, Sarah A., is the wife of James Moore, and Elizabeth is the wife of John Hickey.
