This Sidney Scott is living in the same county an area as in 1860 and 1880, but the information given is not correct. Descendants have verified that Sidney's wife was named Sarah and that he had a daughter named Jennie, as was enumerated in 1880. Perhaps there was an error on the part of the enumerator or perhaps the census response was given by someone not well acquainted with the family. Nevertheless, this may *represent* Sidney's family, even though the information is not accurate. The unnamed "housekeeper" could well be Samantha Scott, a widow age 62 in 1870, who, along with Sidney, has not been located elsewhere in 1870.
