He is listed on the 1870 Federal Census of the Ft. Concho Mail Station & being a blacksmith. After the war he ran the mail station as the head post master of the Concho mail station at Ft. Concho (now called Ft. McKavett in Bexar County (now Menard County), Texas. Family history relates that he drove the stagecoach from Fort Concho to Fort Chadbourne. He told the story that when they were going through Indian territory, they always gave the horses some tobacco to make them run faster. Family members say they remember seeing a photo of John D. Scott sitting on the mail stagecoach and that he had a long handlebar mustache. John served as a sheriff and was a farmer most of his life.
"The Scott Family was known as honest and hard working people who you could trust and enjoy being friends with. They loved to camp out as families, had picnics, played games, swam and fished along the river banks and kept the family together with several Scott Family Reunions.
After Mary Jane died John remarried. They were both elderly and did not have children. Her name was Mary Ann (Rawls) Vick. They were married April 21, 1909 in Santa Ana, Coleman County, Texas."
