History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 551. [Bourbon County] [North Middletown Precinct] JOSEPH C. SCOTT, farmer; P. O. North Middletown, son of Wm. and Eliza (Sparr) Scott, and was born Sept. 22, 1838; his grandfather, Wm. Scott, was a native of Virginia, but emigrated to Kentucky at an early day and settled near Clintonville, where he died with cholera in 1833. His second son, William, married Eliza Sparr, of Clark County; by this marriage there were four sons and three daughters. The third son, Joseph C., who is the subject of our sketch, enlisted in 1862, in the Confederate Army under Col. Cluke; in the winter of 1862-3 he was captured and taken to Camp Butler in Illinois, where he was held a prisoner for two months and then exchanged; was again captured on the 26th of July 1863, with Gen. Morgan on his Ohio raid, and taken to Camp Chase and confined for a month, then removed to Camp Douglas where he remained a prisoner for seventeen months and was again exchanged; after the cessation of hostilities he returned from Virginia to his native State. Joseph C. was married Oct 27, 1870 to Miss G. A. Yates; the result of this union is two children, Roy Cluke and Bernice Bell. Mr. Scott owns a small farm and is an enthusiastic Democrat.
