Biography of George Taylor Scott:

George Taylor Scott was undoubtedly named after his grandfathers, George Wiley Kelly and Taylor Scott. George Wiley Kelly in turn was undoubtedly named after his grandfather George Wiley, R. S.

George Taylor Scott's death certificate indicates that he was born in Dawson, Terrell Co. Georgia and that is how we have his place of birth recorded. The informant on the death certificate is his granddaughter Susan Scott Mixson. However, George's parents (and two sisters) were living in Calhoun County, Georgia in 1860 before his birth in 1867. By 1870, George, his parents and three sisters are all living in Colquitt, Miller Co., Georgia. It is thus very likely that George Taylor Scott was born in Miller Co. or even Calhoun County rather than Terrell Co. Georgia. Perhaps the family moved back to Terrell County in 1867 when George was born.

George's father Sam Scott died in 1877 in Miller County and by 1880 George and his widowed mother, Rebecca Kelly and four sister's (Ella, Rebecca, Rachel, and Mattie) are all to be found living in the household of George's grandfather, George W. Kelly in Terrell County, Georgia. It appears that after the death of Sam Scott, Rebecca returned to Terrell County to live with her parents.

George next appears in Taylor County, Florida in July 1892 where he marries Willie E. Humphreys. No further information is available on Willie E. Humphreys. It is not clear what brought George to Florida from Georgia. However, his Uncles, John R. Kelly and Charles R. Kelly were well established in Taylor County as early as the 1870's. It is likely George saw opportunities in Taylor County and moved near his Uncles.

On 23 December 1894 George married Ella Frances Jackson, daughter of Richard Ford Jackson and Mary Jane Donaldson., both deceased at the time. George and Ella started to raise their family in the Spring Warrior / New Hope Church area south of Perry, Florida. On 17 August 1903 George applied for 80 acres of land in the Spring Warrior area from the General Land Office at Gainesville, Florida. On 5 November 1906 George received his patent for the land from President Roosevelt. That land is described as the SE Quarter of NW Quarter and SW Quarter of the NE Quarter of Section 27, Township 5 South, Range 8 East. This land is 400 yards due east of Spring Warrior Church Cemetery where Ella's father, Ford Jackson is buried. This land is now a pine tree forest, owned by timber interests. George and Ella are buried next to each other in New Hope Cemetery about 1 mile south of this land.
