George Scoville
One of my long standing road blocks has been the identity of George F. Scoville's parents, as well as any information on him prior to the 1900 U.S. Census. First, a bit of what I do know:
- His headstone (located in Frankfort Cemetery in Frankfort, Marshall Co., KS) has him living from 1860 to 1933.
- He married Martha Ann Cass around 1889 and they had 10 children together, all born in Kansas.
- I have found census records for George from 1900 to 1930, though they certainly give mixed information.
- They give his birth year as 1861, 1862, 1863 and 1864; none of which match what is on his headstone.
- Three of the four give his birth place as Wisconsin, so I have operated under the assumption that this is likely where he was born.
- His parent's birth places are equally mixed; father said to be born in Ireland, Illinois and Wisconsin, while mother is listed as being born in Scotland or the United States.
