Great Grand-Daughter Of A "Battle Of Trafalgar" Hero, John Scott: 1805, Cape Trafalgar, Spain

Caroline Alice Mary Scott who married Charles Douglas Patton (1859 - 1922) was the Great-Grand-daughter of Captain John Scott who sailed with Horatio Nelson.

The following excerpt is from an article in the Weekly Times, Wednesday 3rd February 1954 (page 48) - Interview with Marian Elizabeth "May" Patton (Caroline's daughter). For the full article go to May's information.

One of Miss Patton's most prized possessions is a framed testimonial letter written by Lord Nelson to her great-great grand father, Captain John Scott Captain Scott was both private secretary and chaplain to Lord Nelson. The letter was written on board the Victory and dated August 17, 1805, just a short time before the flagship set sail to do battle with the French Navy. "It is said," Miss Patton tells you, "that Nelson actually fell in Scott's blood. During the Battle of Trafalgar when my great -
great - grandfather was shot, Nelson asked 'Is that poor Scott?' A short time later Nelson fell at the same spot."
Tracing back her family history is, for Miss Patton an interesting pastime.
Famous writer, Sir Walter Scott, is on her family tree, "and that's probably where I inherited my flair. 'she says with a twinkle in her eyes.

Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson

Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronté KB (29 September 1758 - 21 October 1805) was a British flag officer in the Royal Navy. He was noted for his inspirational leadership, superb grasp of strategy, and unconventional tactics, which together resulted in a number of decisive naval victories, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. He was wounded several times in combat, losing the sight in one eye in Corsica and most of one arm in the unsuccessful attempt to conquer Santa Cruz de Tenerife. He was shot and killed during his final victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

The Death of Captain John Scott

Battle is joined

Victory came under fire, initially passing wide, but then with greater accuracy as the distances decreased. A cannonball struck and killed Nelson's secretary, John Scott, nearly cutting him in two. Hardy's clerk took over, but he too was almost immediately killed. Victory's wheel was shot away, and another cannonball cut down eight marines. Hardy, standing next to Nelson on the quarterdeck, had his shoe buckle dented by a splinter. Nelson observed, "This is too warm work to last long." The Victory had by now reached the enemy line, and Hardy asked Nelson which ship to engage first. Nelson told him to take his pick, and Hardy moved Victory across the stern of the 80-gun French flagship Bucentaure. Victory then came under fire from the 74-gun Redoutable, lying off the Bucentaure's stern, and the 130-gun Santísima Trinidad. As sharpshooters from the enemy ships fired onto Victory's deck from their rigging, Nelson and Hardy continued to walk about, directing and giving orders.
