Private Samuel Hunter Scott
Company O, Infantry Battalion
Samuel Hunter Scott was born in Gwinnett County, Ga. March 12th 1837 to Robert J Scott and his first wife. Sam Scott enlisted on May 6th 1862 in newly formed Infantry Company O of the Phillips Legion and shipped out for Hardeeville, South Carolina. By war's end Sam had risen from the ranks to become 2nd Lt. of Company A and surrendered in North Carolina in late April of 1865. After being paroled at Charlotte May 3rd, 1865, Sam Scott made his way home to his family in Polk County. Like everyone in north Georgia, the family would have struggled to rebuild a life in a land that had been shattered by war. In 1870, Sam and Bell packed up their family, now grown to four children, and headed west to settle in Falls County, Texas. They farmed there, raising cotton, until Sam's death April 12th, 1910 at Travis, Texas. Bell would live on until her death at Travis October 7th, 1937. Sam and Bell were members of the First Baptist Church in Travis and are buried there at Phillips Cemetery.
