  • Alexander Scott was the only son (he had two sisters Margaret and Flora) of Alexander and Mary Ann (Day) Scott. He was born in Montreal in 1844, but his parents moved to Burlington, Vermont when he was six years old. His father enlisted in Co. I, Fifth Regiment Vermont Volunteers and died from wounds at Annapolis, MD on Oct 19, 1862. Scott entered service with 10th Vermont Infantry Regiment as a private at Winooski, Vermont on August 2, 1862. He was promoted to corporal and was assigned to the color guard. On October 19, 1864 Scott was severely wounded in the right thigh by a musket ball at Cedar Creek, Virginia. After recovering he rejoined his regiment on the march to Danville, Virginia in April 1865. He returned with his regiment to Burlington, VT and was discharged July 3, 1865. His commanding officer Major Lydon, in recommending him for the Medal of Honor, stated, "during all the above period with the Color Guard, Corporal Scott refused promotion for the honor of remaining in that important and hazardous service". He first married Hattie Conklin in Flint, Michigan. She died in Washington, D.C. in 1876. He married his second wife Alice V. Skippon on September 4, 1878 in Washington, D.C. He had two sons, William H. Scott (b. 1869) and Charles A. Scott by his first wife and two children May and Alexander by his second wife. However in 1916 Alexander Scott wrote "all children dead" on a pension application and in 1923 his widow stated "no children surviving" on her application for a widow's pension. He died on May 27, 1923 in Washington, D.C. at the age of 78 and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
