Background
William Scott (1784-1837) was an early settler of Texas, and was one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred. He was born in Berkley County, Virginia, and was married to Mary Hanna, with whom he had five children. He spent time in both Kentucky and Louisiana before moving to Texas and receiving land in the area now known as Baytown, Texas where he had a boat landing, a gristmill, and a cotton gin. He contributed the silk used in one of the first Lone Star flags for Texas. He was accused of attacking two of his neighbors and was scheduled to appear in court, but died on October 9, 1837 before his trial.
