Amos L. Hamm part 1, husband of Mary Jane Bacon Scott Hamm

Amos Leroy Hamm was was the second husband to Mary Jane Bacon Scott, and helped raise the Scott children.  He fought in the Civil War, came back home alive.  He lost his wife, and his daughter Nellie was the same age as Marshall.  Starting with the next blog, we will explore this man's life.

Yes, I know, he isn't a direct ancestor.  yet, his life had an impact on future Scott descendants, since he was the Step Father.  I don't have a photo of him nor of the family.

Quite frankly, I expected this to be just a single post synopsis, but it actually turned into a 9 part story.
