ROBERT SCALF
Son of
John Scalf, Sr. & Edeah Carlisle
Robert<John, Sr<Lewis Scalf
Robert Scalf, son of John Scalf, Sr., and Edeah (Edy) Carlisle Scalf, was born
about 1819 in Russell County, Virginia. We have been unable to determine his
exact date of death at this time. However, Robert does not appear on census
records after 1870 suggesting he had died before 1880. This does not confirm
that Robert had actually died before the enumeration of the 1880 census, only
that he could not be found on records.
Robert stated consistently on census records 1850- 1870 that he was born in Virginia. He enlisted June 01, 1863, as a Private in Co. F of the 49th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, Union Army, and was discharged at Lexington, KY December 26, 1864.
Neither Virgil Scalf, nor the author has been able to obtain a pension file for Robert Scalf at this time. Scalf Family History states the date and place of birth of Robert from this file as 1819 in Virginia. Robert was one of several brothers ordered by the court of Russell County, Virginia to be “bound out to learn a trade.” No information has been found at this time to confirm or deny that Robert was ever removed from his parent’s home.
Robert and his brother Peter Scalf were married on the same day in Clay County, Kentucky. Robert married Martha “Patsy” Jackson October 18, 1835 in Clay Co. Patsy was the daughter of Lewis Jackson and Susan Hubbard Jackson. Charlotte (aka Lotty Hubbard) Jackson married Peter Scalf on the same date. We have been unable to determine the relationship between Lewis and Joseph Jackson at this time.
After their marriage, Robert and Patsy moved from Clay County to Perry Co. Kentucky and back to Clay County, eventually moving to Arkansas.
The following transcribed copy of the marriage consent of Robert and Patsy is listed here. A link is provided here for the copy of the original consent. This was signed by the mark of John Scalf, Lewis Jackson, and Joseph Jackson in consent for the marriage of Robert and Patsy, as well as Peter and Charlotte. (See chapter of Peter Scalf)
Airy (Ira) Scalf son of John Sr. and brother of Peter and Robert witnessed the marriage consent. Duton May, another witness, would later become the son-in-law of Robert and Patsy Jackson Scalf.

Minister of the gospel
In the home of Robert and Martha “Patsy” Jackson Scalf in 1840, just five years after their marriage, five children are listed. The author has been unable to confirm that all of these children belonged to Robert and Patsy. It is possible that Robert and Patsy were the parents of twins. However, the number of children do not coincide with the date of their marriage and the1840 census.
Census records (if near correct) suggest that two females were born between 1830 and 1840 and were 5-10 years old. A male was born between 1830 and 1835 and was 5-10 years old. Robert and Patsy married after the birth of at least two of these children making it questionable that the oldest children were actually their children. It is possible that they were siblings of Patsy, or even children of a relative of Robert or Patsy. However, it is also possible that the ages were stated incorrectly. Other records might help clarify this.
The tax lists of Clay County, Kentucky reveal that Robert eventually owned property in both Clay and Knox Counties. In 1836 and 1837, Robert owned property in Clay County.

Robert was missing from the tax lists of 1838 through 1842. However, he was found on the 1840 census of Clay County so we know that he was still living there in 1840, and it is possible he may have been overlooked on the tax lists. It is also possible he was in Tennessee with other family members for a couple of years; however, no records were found in the area of his Tennessee relatives.
The following children are reported in Scalf Family History, page 165 as children of Robert and Patsy that were not found on census records by the author or Virgil Scalf. The author has placed notes in italics at the end of some sentences.
Children of Robert and Patsy as reported in Scalf Family History:
1) Alexander Scalf (Born?) (Died?) Married Linda ____ (from Bell Co. KY)Records suggest that Chana Scalf was the daughter of Ira and Rosannah Gibson Scalf. Chana appeared to be listed as Chary (which was likely Chany) on the 1850 Claiborne County, Tennessee census, and has been very confusing to researchers, including the author. (See chapter of Ira and Rosannah Gibson Scalf)
Records have not confirmed or denied that James Scalf was a son of Robert and Patsy. It is stated in the chapter of Robert Scalf, page 165 of Scalf Family History that Becca Ann Scalf married James Scalf, son of Robert Scalf and Martha “Patsy” Jackson, on January 30, 1858. However, we cannot confirm that this James was the son of Robert and Patsy.
On page 162 of the same book, in the chapter of Jesse Scalf, it is stated that the marriage took place November 17, 1857. However, no James is found in the home of Robert and Patsy on census records. This could have been an error made when compiling the book.
It is also listed on page 163 of Scalf Family History, in the chapter of Jesse Scalf, that Becca Ann married John F. Northern, son of Joseph and Elizabeth Northern from Tennessee. One child (Joseph Northern born 1870) is listed for John Northern and Becca Ann in Scalf Family History.
Becca Ann Scalf, daughter of Jesse and Polly, was found as the wife of John Northern on the 1870 census of Clay County, Kentucky. It appears from this census that John and Becca probably married around 1859 or 1860. The 1870 census of Leslie County, Kentucky reveals four children from this union, Andrew, Martha, Betti, and Joseph Northern. (See chapter of Jesse Scalf)
Becca Ann did have a brother named James who married Judia Sizemore in 1886 Leslie County, Kentucky. Becca Ann was born 1836-1839 and we can only assume that if Robert and Patsy had a son named James, he was likely born around the same time or a few years earlier. If this is correct, he should have been on the 1850 census in the home of his parents. If he was born 1836, which was the year Robert and Patsy married, he would have only been 14 years old in 1850. If further information is found revealing this to be incorrect, this chapter will be updated to reflect the correction.
Polly Scalf, mentioned in Scalf Family History, is stated to have married John Payne. We have been unable to confirm that a Polly or Mary was the daughter of Robert and Patsy.
Manerva Scalf, daughter of Robert and Patsy, married William Payne suggesting that Polly could have been a sister of Manerva and possibly married the brother of Minerva’s husband; however, we have no information on either a John Payne or a Polly Scalf at this time.
We have also been unable to find Alexander Scalf with wife Linda. Therefore, the author can only confirm the children listed on the census records as children of Robert Scalf and Martha “Patsy” Jackson. Neither Alexander, Polly, James, nor Chany were listed on census records with the family of Robert and Patsy Jackson Scalf.
Robert’s family was first found on the census records of 1840 living in Perry County, Kentucky. Recall that Robert and Patsy married 18 October 1835 in Clay County, Kentucky. There were five children in the home in 1840 ranging in ages of less than 5 through 10 years old and suggesting that at least two of the children were either relatives, or children from a prior marriage of Patsy Jackson, if there was one.

Robert was missing from the tax lists of 1844 -1847 but appears again in 1848. The author believes the family might have been living in Hawkins County, Tennessee during these years.
The 1846 Hawkins County, Tennessee School Population Census (The Squire’s Ledger) reveals Robert and his family were living in Hawkins County along with his brothers Ira and John Scalf, Jr. Robert had one child in school in this year. He was not found on records before or after 1846 in Hawkins County, Tennessee.
The Squire’s Ledger is listed here as copied by Sharon Carter for the year 1846. The full list is presented in order to show the neighbors living around Robert Scalf in District 2 of Hawkins County, Tennessee.

By1848 Robert had moved his family back to Kentucky where he owned two tracts of
land; the value of each tract was $50. The family was living at Log Lick in Clay
County.

Note that the oldest child (Malinda) on the 1850 census was born approximately1836 or 1837 with the other children being born after 1840. This does not correlate with the 1840 census concerning ages, and either the ages were incorrect on the census records, or four of the children from 1840 were gone in 1850. This does, however, correlate with the number of children in the home in 1840.
Malinda (1850 census) could have been one of the older females from the1840 census but there is no female of her age range in 1850 to match the 1840 census. However, there were three females and two males in 1840 and this does correspond to the 1850 census. It is very possible that the ages were stated incorrectly in 1840. It is also possible that the children, Alexander and Polly, mentioned in Scalf Family History are correct and they had left home at this time. However, their ages would not correlate with the marriage date of Robert and Patsy. For this reason, we have more questions than answers concerning the older children of Robert and Patsy as reported in Scalf Family History.
One might conclude that Alexander and Polly were born between Malinda and Manerva and were not in the home in 1850. Alexander might have died but it is reported that Polly married John Payne; therefore, Polly should have been listed since she would have been no more than 10-12 years old in 1850 if born after Malinda.

Note that the 1850 census suggests that Greenberry and William were twins. However, their ages are different in 1860. No further records have been found to suggest they were twins and no family legend has been reported to suggest this.
In 1850, a Lewis Jackson (age 46) was found with a daughter Martha in the home in Clay County, Kentucky. It is unclear to the author exactly who this Lewis Jackson might have been. It is possible he was the father of Martha “Patsy” Jackson; however, Martha “Patsy” Jackson Scalf was listed in the home of her husband in 1850 and Martha listed with Lewis Jackson is four years younger than Martha (aka Patsy) in the home of Robert Scalf.
It is possible that Martha “Patsy” Jackson Scalf was in her own home with her husband, Robert, on August 1, 1850 where she was enumerated the first time, and was visiting her parents on August 5, 1850 where she was enumerated again; however, her age is off on this census if this is correct, and she was not listed under her married name. This is not a significant factor, however, because the enumerator likely knew she was Lewis’ daughter and simply listed her under Jackson. It is possible as well that she and Robert were having marital problems at that time, and she had returned home.

Robert was then found on the tax lists from 1851 through 1869 with the exception of a few years he was missing or the tax lists were missing. Robert had moved from Log Lick to Hammond Fork in Clay County. He also owned property in Knox County but the amount is not listed on this tax list.

By 1860, we find Martha Jackson Scalf listed as “Patsy” confirming that she did use Patsy as another name for Martha.
Note that their son, Greenbury, was born in Tennessee about 1847 if his age is correct on the 1860 census. Robert was listed on the 1846 Hawkins County School Population Schedule but was not listed in 1847. However, if Greebury was born in Tennessee in 1847, this confirms that Robert and Patsy were still in Tennessee in this year and moving back to Kentucky by 1848 where Robert was found on the 1848 tax list.
Robert and Patsy had a total of nine children by 1860 according to census schedules.

Robert enlisted in the Union Army June 01, 1863, as a Private in Co. F of the 49th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry. He was discharged at Lexington, KY December 26, 1864. Robert’s son, Greenberry, also enlisted at the same time as his father, but is reported to have died at Camp Burnside.
1864 Clay Co. KY Tax List – Robert not listed on this tax list.
Robert was discharged from service December 26, 1864; however, in November of 1864, Robert applied for a patent on another piece of property, which he then sold in 1869 to William Keene.
Purchase was made for a warrant from the Clay County Court, which authorized a survey for the land in question. After receiving the warrant and survey, the Land Office Division in Frankfort, Kentucky issued a patent on the tract of land to Robert under the County Court Orders Series. This warrant, a 50-acre tract of land - Patent #36425, was surveyed on November 1, 1864 and granted to Robert on October 2, 1865. It was located on Ground Hog Fork of Otter Creek in Clay County, Kentucky. (Courtesy of Virgil Scalf)

1867 Tax List – Robert is again missing from the tax records in this year. However, in this year the Sheriff of Clay County sold the property purchased in 1862.
According to the sale order, Robert had no personal property for security or bond for the property and owed a total of $69.44 on the property located on Goose Creek in Clay County, Kentucky. No doubt, the Civil War had taken its toll on Robert’s family.
THE LAND OF ROBERT SCALF IS SOLD BY SHERIFF OF CLAY COUNTY, KENTUCKY

We have no way of knowing the exact date Robert and Patsy left Clay County, Kentucky; however, they appeared on the 1870 Benton County, Arkansas census by August of 1870. It appears that Robert and his family had left Kentucky sometime between April of 1869 and August of 1870.
In 1870, Robert and Patsy were found living at Round Prairie Township in Benton County, Arkansas. This is the last record found for Robert and Martha “Patsy” Jackson Scalf.
Benton County, Arkansas is located in the extreme Northwest corner of Arkansas and borders both Missouri and Oklahoma. Some of the family of Robert and Patsy were found in Oklahoma and some in Missouri. However, a thorough search of census records of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri failed to reveal a census record for Robert and/or Patsy.
A descendent reported that both Robert and his son Greenbury were killed in the war; however, records reveal that only Greenbury had died. An excerpt from a letter written to Jonathan Harmon’s family by his aunt, Floretta Starnes, is listed here. Floretta had been told that both Robert and Greenbury had died in the war.
“Dear Earl, Vivian and family…. Decided to set down and write a few lines tonight… About family history – you can tell the boys that Mama’s dad, Great Brittain Scalf, was just a young boy during the civil war and lived on a southern plantation. His dad and oldest brother, Green Berry Scalf, were both killed in the war...” (Excerpt from letter of Floretta Starnes –granddaughter of Great Britton Scalf – courtesy of Jonathan Harmon)
Robert and Patsy were the parents of ten children by 1870 according to census records.

It is unknown at this time if Robert died in Arkansas and Patsy remarried or
what might have happened, but it does appear that something certainly happened
1870-1880 to split the family unit.
Great Britton, his brother Robert, and brother William were found in Switzerland County, Indiana in 1880. Great Britton and Robert were living in the home of Louisa Ostrander. Their brother William was married at this time and living next door. The relationship of the Ostrander’s to the family (if any) is unknown at this time.

Family legend reports that bushwhackers killed Robert Scalf around 1880. If this is correct, this likely occurred in Arkansas and not Kentucky, as originally thought, for Robert was not found in Kentucky after 1869 and was living in Benton County, Arkansas in 1870. No further records were found for Robert or his wife Patsy and the author can only conclude that at least Robert died 1870-1880 and maybe Patsy as well.
MALINDA SCALF
Daughter of
Robert Scalf and Martha “Patsy” Jackson
Malinda<Robert<John, Sr<Lewis Scalf
Malinda Scalf, daughter of Robert Scalf and Martha “Patsy” Jackson was born
about 1837 in Clay County, Kentucky (1850 Clay County, KY census).
Very little is known of Malinda. Scalf Family History, page 166 reports that Malinda Scalf married William Payne March 29, 1854 in Clay County, Kentucky. However, research of Virgil Scalf reports that Malinda and William were married March 19, 1854. William was 30 years old, a widower, and born in Tennessee. Malinda Scalf was19 years old at the time of their marriage, single, and born in Clay County, KY. (Marriages of Clay County, KY)
William and Malinda were found on the census records of 1860 and 1870 in Clay County, Kentucky. Malinda’s parents (Robert and Patsy) left Clay County, Kentucky 1869-1870 but William and Malinda remained in Kentucky.
It has also been reported that Malinda had a child out of wedlock and that she died shortly after his birth. However, records reveal that Malinda was living in 1900. Richard Holland is reported to have been the father of her son, Pharris.
Cliff Holland, a descendent of Richard Holland and his wife Ellen, states, “when Richard and Ellen Holland were ready to move, Malinda made Richard take Pharris with them and Richard and Ellen Holland adopted Pharis.”
The author has been unable to determine with any amount of certainty that this was the same Malinda Scalf, daughter of Robert Scalf. The child in question (Pharis Holland) was born 1869-1870 according to census records.
It was stated that Richard and Ellen Harris Holland adopted Pharis, son of Malinda Scalf. Richard Holland and wife Ellender (Ellen) were found on the 1870 Leslie County, Kentucky census with several children in the home. Pharis was not in the home on this census but appeared in the home in 1880. His calculated birth date is 1870.
By 1880, Richard Holland was listed with wife Ellen and their children; however, Pharris Holland is now in the home and is the same age as Richard’s son, William, certainly suggesting that Pharis was not the son of Richard and Ellen. Both Pharis and William were born about 1870 according to this census. William and Pharis were not twins, however, because Pharris was not listed with the family until 1880.

On the 1870 census of the Richard Holland household, William Holland (son of Richard and Ellen Holland) was born in February of 1870 and was 10 years old in 1880. Pharis was not listed in this home in 1870 but appears there in 1880 at the same age as William. Pharis was listed under the surname of Holland in 1880.
If Pharis was born in 1869, he most certainly was living with someone until 1880; however, he does not appear in the home of Malinda Scalf Payne on the 1870 census. We have been unable to find Pharis listed in the home of any of the Scalf or Payne family on the 1870 census records of Kentucky at this time.
In fact, a thorough search of the census records has failed to produce Pharris Holland at all in 1870. He should have been in the home of someone in 1870 according to his stated birth date. Therefore, we cannot determine if Pharis was the son of this Malinda Scalf Payne, or the son of someone else. We cannot confirm that he was born 1869-1870. If he was born in 1870, however, he might have been born after the enumeration of the 1870 census and this would explain why he could not be found in 1870.
Pharis Holland appears to have left Kentucky after the enumeration of the 1880 census according to information from Cliff Holland. Pharis married his first wife Gracie Mary Roberts 1885 in Arkansas. This calculates his age to have been around 16 years old when he married Gracie. He was found living in Madison County, Arkansas in 1900 and Lincoln County, Oklahoma in 1910. His first wife had died and he had remarried.
The census records of 1860 and 1870 Clay County, Kentucky show that there were five children in the home of William Payne and Malinda Scalf; however, these children were from a second marriage of William Payne to Nancy Phillips.
A listing for the marriage date and children of William Payne and Nancy Phillips was found at Ancestry.com. However, the author believes there might be a mistake on the birth date of their daughter Rebecca. She is listed with a birth date of May 6, 1854. This would have been after the marriage of William Payne to Malinda Scalf since William and Malinda married in March of 1854 according to Kentucky Marriages.
Note that an older son, Jacob, who appears on the 1850 and 1860 census of Clay County is not listed on this record. The contributor of this information also states a birth date for Malinda Scalf of March 6, 1834 for which we cannot deny or confirm; however, her parents were not married at this time.
Note the different birth dates of Malinda Payne and the marriage date of William Payne and Malinda Scalf.
Marriage: 1 Nancy Phillips born 1822 in Kentucky
Married: 2 MAY 1844 in Knox Co Kentucky
Children:
1) Malinda Payne born 1848 in KY
2) John Payne born 1852 in KY
3) Rebecca Payne born 6 May 1854.
Another record for William Payne also from Ancestry lists the following:
Marriage 1 Sarah A. Hoskins b: ABT 1813 in Of, Harlan, Kentucky
Children
Marriage 2 Nancy Phipps
b: 1822 in Grainger, Tennessee
Children
Marriage 3 Malinda Scalf b: Mar 1834 in Clay, Kentucky
Sources:
William Payne and wife Nancy were enumerated on the 1850 census of Clay County, Kentucky.
The information above suggests that William Payne had married first in 1834 to Sarah A. Hoskins and had three children born 1835-1837. He then married Nancy Phillips or Phipps in 1844 and had five more children. He then married Malinda Scalf in 1854. The author cannot verify the marriage to Mary Hoskins, nor the children due to the names not being listed on census records prior to 1850. Children from the first marriage do not appear to be in the home of William Payne after his marriage to Nancy.

The 1870 Clay County census reveals the same children as the 1860 census with
the same approximate ages; however, John from the 1860 census is missing. He
would have been 18 in 1870 and had probably left home shortly before the
enumeration of the census. John was found as head of house in 1880 married to
Bittie Bright. Peter, the last child listed in 1870 was born about 1857
suggesting he was the first child of William and Malinda.
The son of Ceely Ann Scalf and Duton May was also living in the home of William and Malinda Scalf Payne in 1870 indicating that one or both of his parents had died. However, his mother (Ceely Ann Scalf May) was found still living in 1880.

wife, Bittie Bright Payne. John Payne was the son of William Payne and his
second wife, Nancy Phillips. Bittie’s father, John Bright, was also in the home.

In 1900, William Payne and Malinda Scalf Payne were living in the home of a
grandson, William Tuttle. William and Malinda were not found after 1900;
however, it is possible that William died and Malinda remarried or moved. It is
also possible that both William and Malinda had died.

The above records reveal that Malinda Scalf and her husband William Payne remained together at least until the 1900 census was enumerated. Only one child can be confirmed as the child of William and Malinda. This was Peter Payne listed on the 1880 census with a calculated birth date of 1857.
If Pharis were the child of Malinda Scalf Payne, then he would have been the child of an extramarital affair considering his birth date, and the fact that Malinda was with her husband, William Payne, from 1860 through 1900.
No records have been found to confirm or deny the validity of this at this time; however, the family of Pharis Holland is presented below in the event that it can be confirmed that Malinda Scalf Payne was the mother of Pharis Holland.
PHARRIS H. HOLLAND
Son of
Richard Henry Holland, Jr. & Milinda Scalf
Pharris Holland<Malinda Scalf Payne<Robert<John Sr<Lewis Scalf
Pharris H. Holland, son of Richard Holland and possibly Malinda Scalf
Payne, was born November 26, 1869 in Clay County, Kentucky. (Cliff Holland)
It is suggested that Malinda Scalf Payne was the mother of Pharris Holland; however, the author cannot confirm or deny this information at this time and would be interested in hearing from any descendents of this line concerning Malinda and Pharris.
Pharris has been found with various spellings of his name. The author has chosen to use the spelling of Pharris, as stated by a descendent, Cliff Holland. .
Cliff Holland submitted the following information concerning the family of Pharris H. Holland. Descendents submitted by Cliff Holland can be found at the following link.
(Link to descendents of Pharris Holland)
“Pharris H Holland was born on 26 Nov 1869 in Clay Co, Kentucky. He died on 9 Apr 1925 in Stroud, Lincoln Co, Oklahoma. He was buried in Apr 1925 in Stroud, Lincoln Co, Oklahoma. He was related to his parents by adoption. He had other parents.
Pharris is the Bastard son of Richard Henry Holland Jr. and Milinda Scalf. When Richard and Ellender were ready to move, Milinda Scalf made Richard take Pharris with them. Milinda Scalf did not go with them. Richard and Ellender are said to have adopted Pharris and raised him with their other children. There was no bastard bond for Pharris. So we do not know when he came to live with Richard and Ellender. He may have come when he was still a baby. Please note that the Bastard Bond is when the father makes payment to the mother for support. It is not a bad name, but that was what it was called in those days. It is something like our child support of today.
Pharris married (1) Gracie Mary Roberts in 1885 in Arkansas. Gracie was born in 1869 in Boston, Madison Co, Arkansas. She died in 1894 in Madison Co, Arkansas. She was buried in 1894.

Please note that Ellen is listed above in the data from Cliff Holland as the daughter of Pharris Holland and Gracie Mary Roberts. She is also listed as the daughter of Pharris and his second wife, Malicia Alice Jane Smith. It is unclear to the author if this was a mistake or if Pharris named two daughters Ellen; however, both appear to have different birth dates but death dates are the same.

Pat Pennington, wife of Marvin Pennington (great grandson of George Washington Smith and Manerva Jane Scalf) submitted information on the family and descendants of George Washington Smith and Manerva Jane Scalf via email during September and October of 2001.
In a letter dated September 27, 2001, Pat states the following:
“Dear Margaret
This is what my husband was told several times by his mother and grandmother, Linda (Smith) Pippin and Vivian Parks. That Manerva Jane Scalf was Indian and George Washington Smith traded horses for her. This is a copy of a letter that Vivian McDonald-Parks wrote to us: My Father Henry McDonald son of Sara Jane Smith and Robert McDonald said his Grandfather George Washington Smith bought Manerva Jane Scalf an Indian girl as his wife. I have heard she was Cherokee. Granddaughter of Sarah Jane Smith and Robert McDonald wrote a letter saying her grandparents always told her that George W. Smith bought Manerva J. Scalf with horses. Then he died while in the in the army, she was denied of her husbands army pension because she was Indian, but she was finally awarded $8.00 a month.” (Marvin and Pat Pennington)

Another email from Pat Pennington dated 10/03/07:
“Dear Margaret
This is from the book that Linda Smith Pippin put together on the Smiths from Kentucky to Missouri. The young couple George Washington and Manerva Jane were referred to as Wash and Jane, they were married in Slip Gap, Kentucky, by G. W. Smith, could not find them to be related but would think they were some how. The marriage is recorded in Manchester (Clay Co) Kentucky. I know by their affidavits on record Wash grew up with Anderson and Flemmon Keen, and after the war worked for Anderson Keen. These men stated they knew Wash to be a stout rugged man prior to the war, but after joining the 47th Kentucky Infantry (Confederacy) and mustering out a year later Wash suffered with chronic diarrhea and was about half disabled. By the time Wash and Jane had moved to Indiana with their four oldest boys who were born in Kentucky, Jane not being able to read or write, had others to record in her Bible birth dates and places of her children, and were kept well with the excption of her own birth date, as well as Wash’s. Jane’s records were different from the census of 1850, Wash in the home of his parents was age six, and Jane was seven. In 1860 the census gives their ages the same. In 1870 they arrive in Sullivan Co. Indiana giving the age of Wash two years older than Jane, again in 1880 Indiana, Wash was seven years older so you see they had lost track, for this reason I believe the older dates to be more correct and that Wash was a year younger than Jane or the same age. Isaac married to Lucretia Keen daughter of William Keen and Retta Smith Keen. Possibly Lucrecia was a sister to the two Keen boys Wash grew up with. In 1870 their property was valued at one hundred dollars, not bad for a poor man in those times. A couple of years later their little girl Elizabeth under two years old died, and the same year Anna Susan was born, they moved to Missouri between the births of Marion born in Indiana and Samuel (Jack) born in Missouri. Wash went to work for Fred Reed a short time before his death in 1888. Jane then left with five children at home, it was another year before she received the eight dollar a month pension from Wash’ Infantry time. James was said to have taken care of his mother and brothers and sister, as he was the eldest left at home at the time of Wash’s death. At the time of the Smith’s move to Reeds, Reeds was a bustling City complete with Rail-Road Station supplying transportation and commodities. Reeds was growing into the late forties with a bank, three grocery stores, a drug store, a Doctor, a cannery, a casket factory, and a feed mill. At the loss of the passenger train the City lost its vigor. Wash and Jane as well as Jane’s sister and some of theirs are buried in Harvey Cemetery north east of Reeds on F Highway. By now Reeds only has a Post Office and a Church.” (Pat and Marvin Pennington)
The author believes the sister of Manerva Jane mentioned by Pat Pennington was Susan Scalf Bickford.

Note: I have always been under the impression that the Washington Smith who married Manerva Scalf was the son of Milton Smith and first wife Sally Smith and that George Washington Smith (son of Hugh and Malinda) married Martha Hobbs.
I still believe this is more likely the marriage for the son of Milton Smith and Sally Smith. The children from this marriage did not have the best of lives growing up. They went through what was a very difficult and drawn out divorce between their parents, which lasted several years. Milton appears to have had 3 children with his second wife before they were married and I can see all this as a good reason for Washington to want to move far from all those memories. – Richard Holt (Courtesy of Virgil Scalf)

CEELY ANN SCALF
Daughter of
Robert Scalf and Martha “Patsy” Jackson
Ceely Ann<Robert<John, Sr<Lewis Scalf
Ceely Ann Scalf, daughter of Robert Scalf and Martha “Patsy” Jackson was born 1844 in Tennessee according to the 1860 census. However, on the 1850 census of Clay County, Kentucky it was stated she was born in Kentucky, as well as the 1880 and 1900 census of Knox County, Kentucky.
Ceely Ann’s full name might have been Cecelia Ann Scalf and was probably named for her aunt, Cecelia (Sela) Scalf, sister of her father, Robert. Robert’s uncle, Benjamin Scalf, married Ceely Ann Keziah and we believe that Sela Scalf Lockard (daughter of John Scalf, Sr.) was likely named for her aunt as well. The spelling of “Ceely” has also been found in the records, as well as Ceely/Cealy and Sela. The spelling of Ceely is most often used in these writings.
Ceely Ann Scalf married Duton May - who from appearance - also signed as a witness to the marriage of her parents, Robert Scalf and Martha “Patsy” Jackson in 1835. Duton May had been married prior to his marriage to Ceely Ann. He was born around 1811 and was 33 years her senior. The children on the 1860 census below were the children of Duton May and his first wife whom we have no information for.
Duton May and Ceely Ann Scalf were married January 31, 1860. (Kentucky Marriages – Courtesy of Virgil Scalf)
According to the 1860 census of Clay County, Kentucky, Ceely Ann was 16 years old when she married Duton May. Duton was 49 years old.

In 1870, Willis May, son of Duton May and Ceely Ann Scalf May was living in the
home of Ceely Ann’s sister, Malinda Scalf Payne. The 1870 census states his age
as four years old placing his birth date around 1866. Ceely Ann and Duton were
not found in 1870.

Sometime between 1860 and 1880 Duton May died and Ceely Ann was found living in the home of the Isaac McKinney family in 1880. Listed beneath Sely A. May are two children; Belle May born about 1874, and Misey May (probably Missy/Melissa?) born about 1865. This suggests that these children were children of Ceely Ann Scalf and Duton May. However, they cannot be confirmed.
Note that the last child of Duton May and his former wife was born about 1856. He then married Ceely Ann Scalf in 1860. This is the basis for the belief that Belle and Misey were likely daughters of Duton May and Ceely Ann Scalf. However, it is very possible that they were relatives of Duton and Ceely Ann, and simply living in the Isaac McKinney home with Ceely Ann in 1880. Ceely (Sely), Belle, and Misey were all listed as servants in the home of Isaac McKinney.

By 1900, Cealy Ann Scalf May had married Daniel B. Allen, who appears to have been
her third husband. The marriage record of Cealy Ann and D. B. shows that she had
been married to a Davis prior to her marriage to D. B. However, we do not have
his full name at this time.

Cealy Ann and D. B. Allen married on 10 March 1899. This marriage was a second marriage for D. B. Allen. He was 49 years old and she was 45.

D. B. Allen and his first wife, Eliza Jane, were found living at Greenfield
(Orange Co) Indiana in 1880. They had three children at this time.

Between 1880 and 1899, either Eliza Jane died, or they divorced. D. B.
was next found on marriage records of Knox County, Kentucky with his second
wife, Ceely/Cealy Ann (Scalf) May-Davis. Therefore, the children of D. B. and
Eliza Jane Allen were born 1870-1899.
In the home of D. B. Allen and Ceely/Cealy Ann (Scalf) May-Davis-Allen in 1900 were the following children:
1) Wiley Allen born March 1881 (Son of D. B. Allen and Eliza Jane).Since there is no 1890 census, we are assuming that all of the above children were children of D. B. Allen and Eliza Jane. This is based on census birth dates, and the marriage records of D. B. Allen and Ceely/Cealy Ann (Scalf) May-Davis.
Ceely Ann stated on the 1900 census that she had four children with four living. It does not appear that any of her children were in the home of D. B. Allen in 1900.

The census records suggest the following children were children of Ceely/Cealy
Ann Scalf and Duton May. We can only confirm Willis May at this time. However,
Ceely/Cealy Ann stated she had four children with four living.
Children of Ceely Ann Scalf and Duton May:
1) Misey May born abt. 1865 KY (if age is correct on census)We have no information at this time concerning the fourth child of Ceely/Cealy Ann (Scalf) May-Davis-Allen. This child, who might have died, however, would have been living in 1900.
The 1910 census reveals that Ceely Ann (Scalf) May-Allen died 1900-1910. Her husband, D. B. Allen, was then listed as “widowed” in 1910.
WILLIS MAY
Son of
Duton May & Ceely Ann Scalf
Willis May<Ceely Ann<Robert<John, Sr<Lewis Scalf
Willis May, son of Duton May and Ceely Ann Scalf was born about 1866 (census). He was found on the 1870 Clay County, Kentucky census in the home of his aunt and uncle, William Payne and Malinda Scalf. His parents were not found in 1870 but his mother was found living in the home of Isaac McKinney in 1880 and remarried to D. B. Allen by 1900.
Willis was not found on the 1880 census, but appears on the1900 Knox County, Kentucky census where he was boarding with Joseph Hammons.
Marriages of Knox County, Kentucky reveal that Willis had been married three times. His first wife was Luvey Hubbard whom he married June 21, 1888 in Knox County. After her death he married Lizzie Gray on April 19, 1893 in Knox County, Kentucky.
Willis and Lizzie divorced and Willis remarried to Nancy Belle McKinney who had been married prior to this marriage and was divorced. She was the daughter of Isaac and Martha McKinney. Recall that Willis’ mother, Ceely Ann Scalf May was living in the home of Isaac McKinney in 1880.
Nancy Belle McKinney was not the same person as Belle McKinney living in the McKinney home in 1880. Belle from the McKinney home (1880) was born about 1874. Nancy Belle McKinney, wife of Willis was born about 1885. Note that Willis May did not give his father’s name when he married Nancy Belle McKinney June 18, 1910. He did state that his father was Dudley (aka Duton) May when he married Lizzie Gray.
It does not appear that Willis May was raised by his parents for he was living with his aunt and uncle at the age of four years old in 1860. His father was not found in 1880 but his mother was in the McKinney home in that year. Willis never appeared on a census record with either of his parents.
The 1870 Clay County, Kentucky census of William and Malinda Scalf Payne is listed here to show Willis May living in their home in 1870.

The author believes that Willis May left the Clay/Knox County area 1870 - 1880. Although it cannot be confirmed at this time, it is possible that Willis made his way to Ohio County, Kentucky where a Willis May was found in the home of Charles and Mary Haynes at Fordsville Precinct of Ohio County listed as a “farm laborer.” However, this may not be the same Willis May.

On the 1900 census of Knox County, Kentucky, Willis May was living in the
home of Joseph Hammons. Wilkerson Broughton was living four houses away in
household No. 119. Milton Scalf, son of William Scalf and Joicy (Jackson) Scalf
were living in household No. 120, next door to Wilkerson. Milton was a grandson
of Peter and Lotty Scalf. Joseph Hammons was living in household No. 125. Other
Broughton families were living nearby.

In June of 1910, Willis married Nancy Belle (McKinney) Clark, daughter of Isaac and Martha McKinney. Nancy stated she was divorced from her fist husband. Willis’ mother Ceely Ann Scalf May was living with the Isaac McKinney family in 1880 Knox County.
On her marriage record, Nancy stated she was 25 in 1910 and Willis stated he was about 40 years old. Nancy would have been born about 1885. Willis’ age calculates to a birth date of 1870. He was actually born 1865-1866 and should have been 45 or 46. Willis did not state his father’s name but stated his mother was Celia Ann May.
If Nancy’s age was stated correctly, she had not been born when Ceely Ann Scalf was living with Nancy’s parents in 1880.

Nancy was living with her parents at Road Fork on Stinking Creek in Knox County, Kentucky when the census was enumerated in April of 1910. Nancy stated she was divorced and had two children with two children living. There were two grandchildren of Isaac and Martha McKinney in the home; however, the surname was not Clark. The index lists them as “Wilson.” They are listed as Wilson also on the 1920 census, which is more legible than the 1910 census.
One son was Charlie or Worley (spelling illegible) was five years old and Garret was one year and eight months old. They were still living with their grandparents in 1920 and the names were listed as Charlie Wilson and Garrad Wilson.
We cannot confirm these children to be Nancy’s children and they may have been the children of one of Nancy’s siblings. The census page from 1910 was not dated but the previous page states 15 April 1910 and this is probably the date for this page as well. If so, the census was enumerated two months before Nancy’s marriage to Willis May.
Willis and Nancy were not found in 1920 or 1930 and it is unknown if they remained together or divorced, or when they died. We also have no information on any children from this marriage. If Willis had any children at all from either marriage it is unknown at this time.
Isaac and Martha McKinney were still living in Knox County, Kentucky in 1930; however, their two grandsons had left home by 1930.

1847 in Kentucky and enlisted in the same unit as his father, Robert Scalf, in
the Civil War. It is reported that Greenberry died at Camp Burnside in
Kentucky. He would have been very young at this time.
Note: Green B Scalf, the cousin of Greenberry Scalf, is the son of Ira Scalf and was discussed in the Ira Scalf chapter.
Green B. Scalf enlisted with Company B, 47th Kentucky Volunteer Mounted Infantry in September 5, 1863, but he did not report for duty and was listed as a deserter.

William M<Robert<John, Sr<Lewis Scalf
William M. Scalf, son of Robert and Patsy Jackson Scalf was born September 19,
1848 in Kentucky and died February 22, 1922 in Jefferson County, Indiana. William married Mary Elizabeth Denning July
22, 1869 in Jefferson County, Indiana (Scalf Family History, pg. 166).
They were found in Switzerland County, Indiana living next door to Louisa
Ostrander in 1880.
(Link to William Scalf death certificate)
William’s brothers, Great Britton and Robert were in the home of Louisa Ostrander in 1880. We have no knowledge of a relationship between the Ostrander family and the family of Robert Scalf.
William and Mary Elizabeth Denning Scalf moved to Trimble County, KY by 1900 and were still there in 1910; however, by 1920, they had moved to Jefferson County, Indiana.
There are a total of seven children on the 1880, 1900 and 1910 censuses. Mary stated in 1900 that she had 10 children born with 7 living. Scalf Family History lists 8 children. Scalf Family History also states that Hugh died young. He was not listed on the 1900 census.
Ellenora from the 1880 census was probably Nora listed in Scalf Family History. The other children are all listed in Scalf Family History. One child, Cora, listed in Scalf Family History, is not listed on the census records and we cannot confirm that Cora was a child of William and Mary E. Denning Scalf; however, we have listed her family as stated in Scalf Family History.

Julia married (2) Joshua Thayer on November 5, 1894. (Marion County, Indiana; Index to Marriage Record 1891 - 1895 Inclusive Vol, Original Record Located: County Clerk's Office Ind; Book: 238) This family was found 1900-1930 in Indiana. Jesse P. Jackson, age 13, is listed on the 1900 Marion County, Indiana census as a daughter born 1887. Jessie Pearl Jackson was born on April 13, 1887 which coincides with her age in the 1900 Census that shows her as a step-daughter to Joshua Thayer. (Courtesy - Steve Scalf)
Julia and Joshua had four children: Iva Thayer (1896-1980), Charles Lewis Thayer (1906-1969), Cora Erilla Thayer (1910-2002), and Nora Elizabeth Thayer (1913-2003). (Courtesy - Steve Scalf)

Robert<William M<Robert<John, Sr<Lewis Scalf
Robert Enoch Scalf was born February 24, 1877 and died November 25, 1949. Scalf Family History states that Robert married first to
Eliza J. Imel October 4, 1893 in Jefferson County, Indiana and they were the parents of Frank and Charles Edwin Scalf. Frank
is believed to have died young.
(Link to Robert Scalf death certificate)
(Link to Sophia E. Scalf death certificate)
Robert and Liza were not found on the census records but Robert and his second wife, Sophia E. Sherlock were found in 1910 in Shelby County, Indiana. She was the daughter of Daniel H. Sherlock and Louise Detmer. Frank and Charles were found in the home in 1910. Frank is listed as William F. and Charles as Charlie E. William F. was not found on the 1920 census in the home so he may have died 1910-1920.
Several children are listed in Scalf Family History that do not appear on the census records and are assumed to have died. The following census records can be compared to Scalf Family History, pages 165-170.
The 1900 Jefferson County, Indiana census reveals that Liza (Eliza) was living in the home of her parents Benjamin and Isabella Imel. Frank and Edward were in the home. It appears that Robert and Liza were separated or divorced at this time.
Eliza Scalf died August 9, 1900 and is buried in Sec. 27 Twp. 4N Range 11E. Her tombstone reads: Eliza Scalf, wife of Robert, Dec 20, 1876 – Aug 9, 1900. Pleasant Ridge Cemetery records, Milton Township, Jefferson County, Indiana.

Robert Enoch Scalf was found living in Shelby County, Indiana in 1910 with his second wife Sophia E. Sherlock. A son, William F. born 1895 is in the home and appears to be William Frank, son of Robert Enoch Scalf and Eliza Imel. Their son, Charles Edward, (listed here as Charlie E) was also in the home. This suggests that Eliza J. Imel Scalf had died 1900-1910; however, we cannot confirm this.

Robert and Sophia were found in 1920 living in Ohio County, Indiana. William Frank was not found in the home at this time; however, Charles Edward is still living in the home. It is reported that William Frank died. If correct, he probably died 1910-1920 for he was listed in his father’s home in 1910.

SUSAN A. SCALF
Daughter of
Robert Scalf and Martha “Patsy” Jackson
Susan A<Robert<John Sr<Lewis Scalf
Susan A. Scalf, daughter of Robert Scalf and Martha “Patsy” Jackson was born about 1850-1852 in Kentucky (Census). From the records of Karen Fulhart we have a birth date of 13 August 1851. Susan died in Arkansas 8 April 1933. Susan married Jacob Bickford, born 14 November 1851 and died 5 October 1919. (Courtesy of Karen Fulhart)
We are indebted to Karen Fulhart for information concerning Susan’s family. Karen’s email message is listed here:
”I am researching the Bickford family and noticed a marriage between Jacob Bickford and Susana Scalfort in Benton County Arkansas Dec 24, 1870. Since there are NO Scalforts listed in Ancestry.com search engine, I stumbled upon Susan Scalf in the 1870 census in Benton Arkansas. She matches the criteria of Jacob's wife (age, born in Kentucky, and married in 1870). You show Susan married to Jacob Brickford or Jacon Brickford. I know for sure it is Bickford and sometimes Bickford. They had a daughter named Abbie M (b 8/1881) who was born in Arkansas, as well as other children. Abbie would match your Abegail. Jacob was born in 12/1845 though, not in 1835 as your records show. The only difference is that the census records for Susana show that her father was from Tennessee rather than Virginia, but her mother is listed as from Kentucky.” (Courtesy of Karen Fullhart)
The database of Karen Fulhart shows there were five children with Clarence being the last child born. Census records show only four children; however, Anna Agnes appears to have died young and did not appear on census records.
Children of Jacob Bickford and Susan A. Scalf: (Photograph - courtesy of Leslie Gage)
1) Fannie Mirenda Bickford born 11 August 1872 in Arkansas and died 11 December 1922. Fannie married Albert Alumbaugh.Note that Mary was born in Indiana in 1879. Recall that Greenberry, Robert and William, (brothers of Susan) were living in Indiana in 1880. Susan and Jacob might have been visiting family in Indiana when Mary was born, or they might have moved there for a short time.
Susan and Jacob were back in Arkansas by 1882 where Abigail was born. The next move for this family was Missouri where Clarance was born in 1892. There is quite a long span of years between the births of Abbie and Clarance (approx 10 years) suggesting there were children born that might have died. Susan stated on the 1900 Jasper County, Missouri census that she had six children born with four living. We know of five children. Anna Agnes died young, so there was at least one more unknown child that died.
By 1910, the family was living in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma where Susan was found through 1930. Her husband had died 1910-1920 and she was living alternately with her children.
Susan Ann or Susanna Scalf died 1933. (Scalf Family History, pg. 166)

MARY CATHERINE BICKFORD
Daughter of
Jacob Bickford & Susan A. Scalf
Mary Bickford<Susan A<Robert<John Sr<Lewis Scalf
Mary Catherine Bickford, daughter of Jacob Bickford and Susan A. (Susanna)
Scalf, was born December 1878 in Indiana (1880 AR and 1900 Missouri census). The
database of Karen Fulhart states that Mary was born 1879 in Indiana and died
before 1969.
According to the 1900 Jasper County, Missouri census, Mary Catherine married John Overton, probably around 1895. They stated they had been married five years on the 1900 census. Mary’s aunt, Manerva Jane Scalf Smith had moved to Jasper County, Missouri previously.

Mary Bickford Overton then married Andrew L. Workman by 1910. The 1910 Oklahoma County census reveals that this was a second marriage for both Andrew and Mary. Andrew and Mary had been married for six years in 1910. It appears that John Overton and Mary Catherine Bickford had divorced for John was found living with his brother-in-law, Thomas Overton in 1910 Montgomery County, Kansas.
Ruth A. Overton, daughter of Mary Catherine and stepdaughter of Andrew Workman was living in the home in 1910 confirming that this was the same Mary Catherine Bickford who had married John Overton first.
We believe that Ruth A. Overton in 1910 was the same person as Alma R. Overton on the 1900 census. In 1900, Ruth was with her parents John and Mary Catherine Bickford Overton. In 1910, she was with her mother and stepfather.
Susan A. (Susanna) Scalf Bickford was living in the home of her daughter Mary (Bickford) Overton-Workman in 1930 Oklahoma. Susan (Susanna) died three years later.

Robert E <Robert<John Sr<Lewis Scalf
Robert E. Scalf, son of Robert Scalf and Patsy Jackson was born about 1855 in
Kentucky and died January 13, 1934 in Marion County, Indiana. It appears that Robert E. Scalf was married at least twice prior to
his marriage to Lillie B. Wingham We have been unable to confirm with records
that this is the same Robert E. Scalf; however, no other Robert Scalf appears to
meet the criteria for the following information.
(Link to Robert L. Scalf death certificate)
Marriage records obtained from Ancestry dot com reveal that one Robert Scalf married Evaline Abrams 26 October 1877 in Greene County, Indiana. This may, or may not, be the Robert E. Scalf. However, no other Robert Scalf fits the criteria for birth date and location.

A further search of the census records produced Evaline Abrams living in the
home of her father, John Abrams, in Green County, Indiana in 1880. This can be
found under household No. 41 on the 1880 census. In the home is William R.
Scalf, age 1. We believe he was a child of Robert E. Scalf and Evaline Abrams.

William Avery Scalf, son of Robert E. Scalf and Lillie B. Wingham, was born July 24, 1892. William married Jesse (maiden name unknown to Sharon and Michael Scalf); however, the author is of the opinion that this is the William who married Jessie May Laux on July 29, 1912. Scalf Family History, page 166 states that William Arthur Scalf (son of Great Britton and Louisa Emmaline Dowell) married Jessie May Laux. However, records confirm that Great Britton’s son William Arthur Scalf married Mary S. Laux and not Jessie May Laux.

The WWII Draft Registration Card for William A. Scalf (son of Robert and Lillie) lists his full name as William Avery Scalf. This was not William Arthur Scalf.
William Avery Scalf and Jessie May Laux were the parents of two known children. Sharon Roller Scalf states that she is unsure if the children were natural or adopted children.

based on the 1900 census of Trimble County,
Kentucky and the marriage data from Marion County, Indiana. Ivy married Louis B. Terhune
August 30, 1916, in
Marion County, Indiana. According to the 1920 and 1930 census records, Louis
Porter either died or he and Iva Bell were divorced about 1924 because Harold A.
Terhune was born November 25, 1923 and Iva Belle is married to John Dickey on
the 1930 census, and they have a daughter that was
born around 1927 or 1928.

PAUL CLARENCE SCALF
Son of
Robert Scalf and Lillie B. Wingham
Paul<Robert E<Robert<John Sr<Lewis Scalf
Paul Clarence Scalf was born October 12, 1914, in Indianapolis, Indiana and died June 26, 1978, in Escondido, CA. He married Geraldine Josephine Hopper June 28, 1935, in Indianapolis, Indiana. She was the daughter of Paul Hopper and Josephine James. Geraldine was born August 23, 1916, in Indianapolis, IN. Paul Clarence Scalf is buried at Crestlawn Cemetery, Riverside, California. Paul Clarence was employed as a Painting Contractor. Geraldine Josephine Hopper Scalf died January 20, 1995, in Corvallis, Oregon and was interred beside her husband Paul Clarence Scalf at Crestlawn Cemetery in Riverside, California. (Courtesy of Michael Scalf and Sharon Scalf Roller)
Michael Allen Scalf and his sister, Sharon Scalf Roller, children of Paul Clarence and Geraldine Josephine (Hopper) Scalf graciously submitted information on this family with the help of their mother, Geraldine. Geraldine was living at the time of our correspondence in the middle 1980’s.
It was with Michael’s help that the author was able to find Elmer Scalf, author of Scalf Family History, at the beginning of this research. Michael unselfishly shared all of his information on the Scalf family with the author to aid in this research. Michael became a dear friend to the author and although it doesn’t seem like it has been that long, we have kept in touch for twenty plus years now.
Elmer Scalf understandably confused some of the names of the children of Robert Scalf and Lillie B. Wingham on page 166 of Scalf Family History. With the help of Geraldine Hopper Scalf and her children, the author has been able to correct these names.
In 2006, Michael’s sister, Sharon Scalf Roller, reviewed the material collected on this line and made corrections and/or additions and we are indebted to her for her help. With the help of Virgil Scalf and records found for this family we have been able to verify the names. The author has added references at the end of each sentence.
Children of Robert Scalf and Lillie Wingham: As recalled by Geraldine Hopper Scalf, wife of Paul Clarence Scalf.
1) Ethel Pearl Scalf born June 02, 1895, married Frank Van Slyke 1912, Marion County, IN. (Stated by Geraldine Hopper Scalf - Scalf Family History states Frank Van Slyke, born 1882 - Confirmed by Michael Scalf and Sharon Scalf Roller -2006)3) Benjamin (Ben) Scalf died at Riverside, CA. (Stated by Geraldine Hopper Scalf. He married Esther May Lombard February 10, 1923, Marion County, Indiana –Listed in Scalf Family History - Confirmed by Michael Scalf and Sharon Scalf Roller)
4) Samuel Scalf. (Stated by Geraldine Hopper Scalf. Listed in Scalf Family History as Sam Scalf. Sharon Roller Scalf confirms that his full name was Samuel – WWI Draft Card lists Samuel Brittan Scalf)Census records list a Lee Scalf and a William Scalf as separate individuals in 1900, Trimble County, KY. This would be Robert E. Lee Scalf and William A. Scalf. Geraldine Hopper Scalf lists Frank Scalf as Frank Joseph Scalf. Frank is also listed on the 1930, census as Frank J. Scalf. Geraldine’s daughter, Sharon Scalf Roller, states that his full name was Franklin Joseph Scalf. Therefore, the records confirm that these sons were separate individuals and were Robert E. Lee Scalf, William A. Scalf, and Franklin Joseph Scalf, sons of Robert E. Scalf and Lillie B. Wingham.
Update on Aaron Paul Scalf:
Previously, Aaron Paul Scalf was included in the list of children of Paul
Clarence and Geraldine Hopper Scalf; however, new information confirms that
there was not a child by this name born to Paul and Geraldine. The author
received an email recently from Michael Scalf, son of Geraldine Hopper Scalf.
His name has been removed from this section and we request that you remove this
from your database, also.
Email from Michael Scalf 12/22/2013:
“I did some follow up with the Indiana Dept. of Records regarding the sibling we
had questions about (Aaron Paul Scalf). It turns out that they could find no
record of live or still born births-so despite the beliefs of some-our Mom did
not have a baby by this name in Indianapolis or Martinsville (the places she
would have lived). The info I provided regarding Aaron was not correct and
should be removed from the record.” (Courtesy of Michael Scalf)

Peter Scalf is listed in Scalf Family History, page 166 as a son of Robert and Martha “Patsy” Jackson Scalf. Peter is also listed on the 1860 census in the home of Robert and Patsy; however, no information has been found to identify this Peter Scalf. The author It is possible that Peter was the Alexander Scalf mentioned by Elmer Scalf in Scalf Family History.
GREAT BRITTON SCALF
Son of
Robert Scalf & Martha “Patsy” Jackson
Great Britton<Robert<John Sr<Lewis Scalf
Great
Britton Scalf, son of Robert Scalf and Martha “Patsy” Jackson was born May 26,
1859 in Clay County, Kentucky and died August 3, 1943. The spelling of BRITTON
has been used throughout the writings concerning Great Britton only because this
is the most common spelling of his name found by the author. His descendents, however, appeared under the
spelling of BRITTAN. Therefore, the spelling found on records has been used for
each family member using this name.
Great Britton was listed in the home of his parents in 1860 Clay County, KY, and he was living with his parents in Benton County, Arkansas in 1870 at the age of 10.

By 1880, Great Britton was living in the home of Louisa Ostrander in Switzerland County, Indiana indicating that at least one, if not both, of his parents had died. His brother, Robert, was also in the home. Another brother, William, was married and living next door to the family.

Great Britton married Louisa Emiline (Dowell) Zehr, the daughter of Peter
Nelson Dowell and Mary Katherine Mitchell. Louisa was born December 25, 1865 in
Green County, Missouri and died April 11, 1940. A marriage license for
Great Britton and Louisa was found and states the date of their marriage as
August 1, 1889 in Reeds (Jasper Co) Missouri. (Marriage License courtesy of
Virgil Scalf)
Link to Great Britton Scalf and Louisa Zehr Marriage License
The name on the license appears to be Louisa Zylor or Zyer. Louisa was married before her marriage to Great Britton and had a son. Louisa first husband was Jacob Zehr and they were married on January 21, 1884 in Newton County, MO.
Link to Jacob Zehr and Louisa Dowell Marriage License
Scalf Family History, page 166 lists Louisa Dowell as Louise E. Darnell but a copy of the death certificate of her daughter, Myrtle Frances (Scalf) Harman states her mother’s name was Louisa Emaline Dowell Scalf, born in West Virginia. Jonathan Harman submitted the death certificate along with other information pertinent to compiling the family of Great Britton Scalf.
Great Britton moved from Arkansas to Indiana 1870-1880 and then to Missouri sometime after the enumeration of the 1880 census. In 1880, he was living in Switzerland County, Indiana, and he married Louisa in 1889 at Reeds (Jasper County, Missouri). We have been unable to find information to suggest why Great Britton moved from Arkansas to Indiana and then back to Missouri. The fact that Great Britton and his brother Robert were in the home of the Ostrander family in 1880 certainly suggests their parents had died.
Louisa, wife of Great Britton, stated on the 1900 census that she had six children with six living. She had been married prior to her marriage to Great Britton and Lee D. Zehr in the home was the son of Louisa and her first husband. Lee D. Zehr was born June 26, 1886 and is listed as twelve years old on the 1900 Census.

By 1910, Great Britton and Louisa were living in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. This census states that both Great Britton and Louisa had been married twice. The author cannot determine if this was an error or if the number is actually a 2 in the marriage category for Great Britton. There has been no other information found to confirm that Great Britton might have been married twice.
Great Britton’s daughter, Myrtle, is listed as a stepdaughter in 1910 and this was likely a mistake by the enumerator for she was listed as a daughter in 1900. Myrtle had married by 1910 to Earl Cleveland Harman and their son Bryan K. Harman is also in the home; however, Earl is not listed on this census.
On each census, Louisa Emmaline (Dowell) Zehr Scalf (wife of Great Britton) lists her birthplace as Missouri. Louisa states she had eight children with eight living on the 1910 census. The 1910 census does show seven children minus her son, Lee D. Zehr, from a prior marriage, who was not in the home in 1910. Counting Lee, there would be eight children.

By 1920, Great Britton was living once again in Indiana, Marion County, Indianapolis. A number of Great Britton’s cousins were living in Marion County as well. Louisa’s name appears to be Euliza on this census; however, we believe the enumerator had a problem with the spelling of Louisa or he did not hear the name correctly.

HOMER BRITTAN SCALF
Son of
Great Britton Scalf and Louisa Emiline Dowell
Homer<Great Britton<Robert<John Sr<Lewis Scalf
Homer Brittan Scalf, son of Great Britton Scalf and Louisa Emiline Dowell, was
born July 19, 1894 in Missouri, the second child of Great Britton and Louisa
Dowell Scalf. The first child had died in infancy. Scalf Family History,
page 166, reports his name as Homer O. Scalf. Jonathan Harmon (a descendent)
confirms it was Homer Brittan Scalf as well as his draft registration card.
Homer died on January 8, 1963 in Marion County, Indiana.
(Link to Homer B. Scalf death certificate)
Homer married first to Martha Elizabeth Spencer in 1916 at Marion County, Indiana. (Scalf Family History, pg. 166) She was born November 15, 1899. (Jonathan Harmon) Martha may have died not long after their marriage because Homer then married Anna G. Carter April 24, 1920 in Marion County, Indiana. Anna was born June 1, 1902 and died March 1, 1929. (Jonathan Harmon)
(Link to Martha Elizabeth Scalf death certificate)
(Link to Anna Scalf death certificate)
They also married in Marion County, Indiana. Homer died 1963 in Indiana. (Ref for Anna and Homer -Book: 109 Original Source Page: 520. Reference for Homer and Martha, Book: 88 Original Source Page: 478-courtesy of Jonathan Harmon)
Scalf Family History, pg. 166 reports that Homer and Anna married 1920 in Marion County, Indiana.
Homer registered for the draft in both WWI and WWII. Rettie M. Scalf was listed as the person who would know his address on the WWII registration card. She was the third wife of Homer. Retha M. Scalf was listed on the Social Security indexes and believed to have been the same person as Rettie. She was born 28 Sep 1907 and died 10 Oct 1996.

WILLIAM ARTHUR SCALF
Son of

William Arthur<Great Britton<Robert<John Sr<Lewis Scalf
William Arthur Scalf was born February 26, 1898 in Missouri and died May 26, 1975 in Marion County Indianapolis, IN. Marriages of Marion County, Indiana, Book 123, show that William Arthur Scalf married Mary S. Laux February 2, 1924. However, according to a descendent, Mary Laux's middle name was Jane and the middle initial of "S" on the marriage record was an error. Mary Laux Scalf was born January 28, 1908 in Indiana and died May 18, 1977 in Marion County, Indianapolis, Indiana. Scalf Family History, page 166 reports that William Arthur Scalf married Jessie May Laux 1912; however, this is a mistake. Jessie Laux was the wife of William Avery Scalf, son of Robert Scalf and Lillie B. Wingham.

In 1930, Jennie Cox and children have her brother-in-law, Theodore Cox, living in the home. His occupation is barber. Trailing him back to earlier Census records, I traced him back to the 1900 Census in the home of William S. Cox (b. 1859) and Rossetta Nichols (b. 1861) m. 30 Dec 1877. There are three sons listed: Tobias (b. Dec 1878), Theodore (b. Jan 1880), and Franklin P(aul) Cox (b. 2 Dec 1887 – d. 6 Mar 1930). Franklin was still single in 1917 (WWI Draft Registration), but he is Jennie’s first husband. Jennie (b. 23 June 1890 – d. 14 Sept 1944) was buried beside Frank in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Samuel Baxter Scalf, son of Robert Scalf and Martha “Patsy” Jackson, was born November 1868 in Manchester, Clay County, Kentucky and died September 30, 1903 in Braggs, Muskogee County, Oklahoma. Samuel was living in the home of his father-in-law, Jonathan Horn and his family in 1900. Samuel had married their daughter, Dollie (also spelled Dolly) Horn. Scalf Family History, page 166, reports that Samuel married Dollie in Missouri in 1891.
A marriage license for Samuel B. Scalf and Dollie Horn was found by Virgil Scalf and lists the date of the marriage of Samuel and Dollie as October12, 1891. Samuel’s residence was listed as Avilla (Jasper Co) Missouri and Dollie’s residence was Reeds (Jasper Co) Missouri. Samuel was over the age of 21 and Dollie over the age of 18. Samuel's second marriage was to Jessie Lee. Samuel and Jessie were living in the town of Braggs in Indian Territory. At the time of the marriage, Samuel was 37 years old and Jessie was 20.

We are deeply indebted to Mr. Glen Horn, a descendant of the Jonathan Horn family, who graciously shared Bible records provided by Mr. Randy East of the Macon County Tennessee Historical Society, concerning the Jonathan Horn family. The Bible records reveal the middle name of Samuel B. Scalf, as well as his birth date, the date of their daughter’s birth and to whom she married.
With permission from Randy East, excerpts of the Bible records are listed here.
Dollie Jane Horn was born August 25, 1870, in Tennessee and died March 2, 1897, in Missouri. Dollie married Samuel Scalf October 12, 1891, in Missouri. She was the daughter of Jonathan Wiseman Horn (1846-1930 - Civil War Soldier) and Sarah Frances East (1854-1929). Her paternal grandparents were Jeptha S. Horn and Charlotta York Horn. Her maternal grandparents were Patterson East and Sarah Lee East. (Macon Co. TN Historical Society –Randy East-- Courtesy of Glen Horn)
Samuel and Dollie Scalf spent some time in Missouri before she died in 1897 and he moved to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) and on to New Mexico. During the time in Missouri they visited with their many cousins and they, along with family members and friends, contributed to the Autograph Book of Edith Gibson Smith. Edith was the wife of Alexander Smith, a nephew of Samuel Baxter Scalf. Several of the 40+ entries in the Autograph Book dated from the 1890s.

Bessie was only five years old when her mother died in 1897. She continued to live with her grandparents, Jonathan and Sarah Horn, after her mother’s death and was listed with them, as well as her father Samuel Scalf, in 1900 Indian Territory (now Oklahoma).
The names of the wife of Jonathan Horn and two of the children were illegible on the census record of 1900; however, the next census (1910) reveals that Jonathan’s wife was Sarah. The two older children had left the home by 1910.
