There is some ambiguity of names of Charles and Laddie.  The following Marriage Certificate say Charles S. Scott married Miss Laddie A. Hardaway on 24 March 1885.  Witnesses were Chas Moorman and Jessie Hardaway.  Location was Big Spring Church in Meade County.  Signature is G. S. King, Minister.

Charles Lee and Adalisa Louisa lived at the top of the hill at the end of Scott Hill Road in Stith valley.  They later moved down the hill to a farm now owned by Clarance D. Ditto and Patricia Ann Ditto (wife) D.B. 113 PG 137.  The house still stands in 1998. Laddie is seen on the right of a number of family members in front of her house in 1920 in this photo.

     Mr. John Dooley bought the farm at the top of the hill from the Scotts.  John Dooley had two sons, Clarance and Lawn.  Mrs. Clarance Dooley lived in the house at the top of the hill at least into the 1960's.  The house still stands and is the residence of Russell Ross in 1998.  Russell married Clarance Dooley's daughter Mildred who died a number of years ago.  Russell Ross also has a farm south of Bewleyville.  There may have been a swap involved with the farms between the Dooleys and the Scotts but the details have not surfaced.  Based on discussion with Margaret Witt in May 2000 the family moved down the hill in 1901 when Margaret Eleanor Scott was 10 years old.  Margaret Witt still owns a wood stove given Margaret Scott by her parents for her room when she was 10 years old just before the move down the hill.

                             Nancy Stith is daughter of Joseph Stith
Notes in (Ruth Fontaine Scott's?) handwriting from about (1934?):
     "Tuesday 26th November 1833 - Certified to the Auditor of ordered that it be allowed public accounts that Joseph Stith be allowed the sum of 25.00 dollars for service rendered as commissioner in taxing in list of odavle property the present year in Eastern or upper half of this county -

   Their son James Hardaway married Margaret Cain
       Their daughter Adelisa Louise Married Charles Lee Scott
           Their son Walter Lee Scott - sworn in as Deputy Sheriff Meade County  January 1934"
