1828 - Frances' parents (Vincent and Susanna Ellis) were married in Nicholas, Kentucky on Aug 21, 1828. The marriage was performed by Elder John Rogers.

1830 - Frances Jane Scott (b: 1830, in Kentucky). She was the 1st child of Vincent & Susan

Around 1832, Vincent Scott moved his family to Indiana where his parents were living.

1848 - On August 14, 1848 in Indiana Francis Jane Scott (aka Frances Jane Scott) married Elias M Roodey (aka Elias Woody). Ref: Marriage Records FHL Film Number: 001316952 (Page: 52)

1850 Census lists a Frances Woody and Elias Woody, both born in Kentucky around 1830 living in Perry, Martin, Indiana. Census shows: Frances Woody; Age: 20; Birth Year: abt 1830; Birthplace: Kentucky; Line Number: 31; Dwelling Number: 157; Family Number: 160; Household Members (Name Age): Elias Woody 20; Frances Woody 20;

In the same 1850 Census just a few houses over were Vincent Scott and his wife Susanna Ellis and their family also living in Perry, Martin, Indiana. Family Number: 158 Household Members (Name Age): Vincent Scott 44; Susanna Scott 43; James W Scott 17; Jonathan Scott 16; Benjamin E Scott 14; Maria Scott 12; Vincent T Scott 9 [Vincent Thomas]; Wm M Scott 7 [William]; Levi M Scott 3; Babe Scott 1 [Daniel]

A Publication Notice in 1876 shows one of the persons listed as a "Frances J Woody".

Immediately below the Publication Notice, is another attachment that is handwritten which near the end of it reads...Frances Scott intermarried with _____ Woody who departed this life on the _____ day _____ (?)18 leaving his widow said Frances Scott....."

Note:
Based on the handwritten attachment, we know that Frances Scott was married to a person named Woody who died prior to or during 1876. Of course, the frustrating part is that had someone simply taken the time to fill in the blanks, it would state who she was married to and when he died.

There is an Estate Sale Article in 1871 for her father Vincent Scott (see his FG memorial). The estate sale article should have listed Frances Jane Woody as an heir. Frances was the oldest child of Vincent Scott. Instead of Frances, the article incorrectly listed an heir "Frank Woody" and another heir "Jane Woody" (aka: Frances Jane Woody).
