Notes - George was a widower and much older than Sarah when he married her. George had known the Smith Family in Birmingham, England. He had formerly been a coach man. Father said Stott was a heavy drinker and given to violent rages and nastiness when drunk. Sarah, his wife, was found at the bottom of the cellar steps, dead. It was supposed that George Stott had pushed her as her family suspected foul play but didn't ask for an inquest because there were a lot of children and "who would look after the little children?" if father went to gaol.
George Stott may have been only an occasional binge-drinker as he had acquired a great deal of land and worked it well - signs of a hard-working man, sober, industrious not an alcoholic. He may have made a couple of public displays of himself and in a small community this would have been talked about. Sarah could have suffered Apoplexy (cause of death on her death certificate) and fallen down the cellar steps herself.
Father spoke of another neighbouring family, the Hollow's, who were also supposed to have been neighbours or friends in England and that Hollow had been a coach man, as well. Hollow owned quite a large acreage and had built a stone barn.
