Mary was the daughter of Charles and Priscilla Reade Scott of "Falkland", Halifax County, VA. She married Nathaniel 8/30/1814 and lived at "Longwood" near Farmville, Prince Edward County. Her sister, Sarah, married William Allen Carrington of "Mildendo" plantation and her daughter, Elizabeth, eventually married her sister's son, Dr. William Fontaine Carrington. Elizabeth stayed with her mother and sister Sarah at "Longwood' during most of her early marriage while her husband was away at sea. The household witnessed the fleeing of the Army of Northern VA in 1865 as it passed through Farmville and the home was thankfully spared destruction by the rapid close of the war. She died at "Longwood" at the end of 1865 just as the changes to her old way of life were being pressed upon the land and its inhabitants.
