Biographyp. 12-13: 'David Scott, Stella Houghton's husband, was the son of James and Jane Scott of South Carolina. He was born there on April 5, 1792. Later he moved to Jefferson County, Ala., where he engaged in mercantile enterprises in Elyton, Tuscaloosa and Marion. He sold out his mercantile interests and formed a stock company for the establishment of cotton, woolen, flour and lumber mills at Scottsville, Ala. (the town named for him). He continued in the manufacturing business till the mills were burned by the Union Army in April 1865 in what was known as Wilson's Raid, an offshoot of Sherman's Army. He was one of the pioneers in settling Tuscaloosa, which became his home when he married Stella Houghton at the home of Dr. James Gulds of Tuscaloosa. He was a man of great energy and sterling character, was noted for his generosity and fine business qualifications - was enterprising and liberal in his gifts to church and educational institutions. He died at the home of John W. McConnell in Scottsville in August 1868."
Scottsville located in Bibb County, Ala. about fifty miles southeast of Tuscaloosa, seeems to have become a 'ghost town'. The city clerk of Tuscallosa writes that he never heard of it. However, in an 'Atlas of the World' published in 1934, Scottsville is shown on the map of Alabama and while no population is given, the town is listed in the census of 1930....
Four years after the death of his first wife, Stella Houghton, Daivd Scott married Mary Elizabeth Marshall and they had four children. Later he married a third time. This, Elizabeth Hiddings Otis, was a sister of his first wife, Stella's brother, Albert Gallatin Houghton's wife, Harriet C. Otis. There were no children from this union.' Elizabeth Otis, friend of Stella Houghton, was third wife of David Scott.'

p. 23, "David Scott, husband of Stella Houghton took a second wife - Mary Elizabeth Marshall. She had four children. David Marshall Scott (3 children and many grandchildren) Ella Scott Herrick Margaret Linda Scott Mary Elizabeth Scott. He took a third wife, Eliza Hidding Otis - sister of Harriet C. Otis, wife of Albert Gallatin Houghton, his first wife's brother. There were no children."5
