SOLOMON SCOTT was born in Lincoln County, Ky., May 1, 1834. His grandfather,
Thomas Scott, was a native of the Old Dominion and a soldier in the
Revolution, and about 1789 moved to Lincoln County, Ky. He was twice married
and the father of twenty-one children. Elijah Scott, his son, was a native
of Lincoln County, Ky., and married Miss Elizabeth Duddevar, also a native
of that county.  Elijah Scott, followed farming and distilling, and to him
and wife were born five children:  Solomon, Mary F., Margaret, Josephine and
Melinda. The parents always resided in Kentucky.  Mrs. Scott died February
12, 1854, and her husband November 9, 1871. Solomon Scott was reared and
educated in his native county where he remained until 1860, when he came to
this county and for three years found employment with his uncle, Charles
Scott, upon a farm. He then purchased a portion of the farm he now resides
upon and has since added to it until he now owns 287 acres which is as well
stocked and as nicely improved as any farm in Paoli Township. He married
Adaline C., daughter of Shelby and Susannah (Throop) Wolf, March 14, 1861,
and to this union have been born the following children - Elizabeth,
