Notes
JOSEPH SCOTT 1796-1856
Caroline BACON (1807-1892) married Joseph Bardwell STEBBINS before 1834. Their daughter Sarah L. STEBBINS (1834-1874) married John Lewin EDGOOSE (1827-1889) at Dover, Racine County, Wisconsin, USA, on 29 October 1851.
After the death of her husband Joseph Bardwell STEBBINS Caroline married Joseph SCOTT, a widower. She gave birth to a son Charles H. SCOTT in 1844. He died in 1859. At the time of the 1860 US Federal Census, she was living with her daughter Sarah and son-in-law John EDGOOSE in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, USA.
A photograph of his gravestone at Wilmington, New Castle, Delaware, USA, is difficult to decypher.
