 N. Oldham, Clerk (not sure which James Scott this might be-in 1840 census there are two James Scotts. The other is a James M. Scott, bet. 40 and 50.)
  In 1850 census in Bledsoe County, James Scott is living near the Revis family. In 1860 James and John Revis are living with and working for James Scott. In Amanda Scott Meredith's memoir, she mentions Jim Revis during the Civil War.
  James Scott owned 16 slaves according to the 1860 census.
  In the 1860 Census living next to James and Amanda Scott is the family of John A Carrick. Living with this family is A. Scott, 21, (born in 1839) male, mulatto, born TN. Related?
  Amanda described her grandfather as "short and rather wide in make-up, and short spoken." She describes their home in 1856 as located in Crossville, on top of the Cumberland Mountain Plateau, near the headwaters of the Caney Fork River. The famly moved to White County shortly after and in 1860 it was located at Bear Cove and now is known as the Lee home. James died of an accidental shooting by his son-in-law, T.J.R. Swafford. It seems that T.J.R. got in an argument with the Paul family. John Paul was married to Scott's daughter Elizabeth. He pulled out his pistol to shoot or threaten Edly and George Paul. Edly would be John's father. James Scott must have been trying to intervene, and he was shot by accident and died of his wounds forty hours later. T.J.R. Swafford was charged with his murder, at first. Then George Paul and Edly Paul filed assault charges as well. The case was transferred to Van Buren County, where after many continuances, the Attorney General, H.C. Snodgrass said he no longer wished to prosecute, on August 1883. (Minute Book Van Buren Co.,Vol. E-F, F.H.L. microfilm #0583164, p. 289)
  The "old family graveyard" referred to in Amanda Scott Meredith's autobiography fell into disrepair and the gravestones were moved into Sparta to the Old Sparta Cemetery in the 1992.
