                   JAMES ALEXANDER SCOTT ALWAYS LIVED HIS LIFE IN BEDFORD COUNTY, VIRGINIA.  HE WAS CONSIDERED AN EXCELLET TOBACCO FARMER, AND WAS A DEACON AT THE DIFFICULT BAPTIST CHURCH, BODY CAMP, VIRGINIA.  TODAY THIS CHURCH IS KNOWN AS THE QUACKER BAPTIST CHURCH.  A PLAQUE NOTES THIS IN THE FOYER.  HE MET LOU ANN MILLER IN ROANOKE, VIRGINIA AND ASKED HER TO MARRY HIM, BECAUSE HER FAMILY WAS IN THE PROCESS OF LEAVING FOR MISSOURI BECAUSE OF THE HEALTH OF HER FATHER, JACOB BOWMAN MILLER.  JAMES SCOTT BUILT A HOME FOR HIS BRIDE AND THEY OCCUPIED THIS SITE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THEIR LIVES.  UNCLE MACK SCOTT, TOLD ME PERSONAL INSIGHTS ABOUT HIS PARENTS.  THEY WERE LOVING, CARING, GOOD NEIGHBORS AND ALWAYS HELPED OTHERS IF POSSIBLE.  UNCLE MACK WAS THE YOUNGEST CHILD OF THE FAMILY.  HE AND HIS WIFE ARE BURIED IN THE OLD SCOTT CEMENTARY, NEAR ROUTES 122 & 24 IN THE SOUTH WEST DIRECT ON A SMALL HILL, BURIED UNDER A BRIER PATCH, SO THE COWS CAN'T GET TO THE GRAVES.  VERY SMALL MONUMENTS ARE PRESENT FOR 80% OF THE GRAVES.
