Answer 1

I've been searching Ancestry and elsewhere, to no avail.  All I've found is a public family tree which contains the 3 of them (but, unfortunately, no further info on Fred).  There are SO many Fred Scotts and Frederick Scotts born in NY in the 1870-1890 date range, and I'm not finding any of them married to a Jane in a 20th century Census or in a military record of any kind.  I've searched Cortland County Census records from the 19th century and found nothing conclusive there, either (several Fred Scotts).  Here's the link to that tree, in case you haven't seen it:  http://trees.ancestry.com/pt/person.aspx...

When I get completely stuck in my research, I back up a step, and sometimes that helps me see new avenues to look into.

Have you already gotten a copy of the marriage license for Fred and Jane (which might provide names of parents and/or other relatives)?  Do you know if they are buried together (which might help us narrow down the birth and death years for Fred, and/or possibly give us a middle name for him)?  Do you have a copy of Jane's or Fred's birth certificate, or even a copy of Marion's?

I hope this helps give you some fresh ideas, wish I could have helped more!

edit:  I found these people with the Scott surname in Cortland County, NY, in the 1889 county directory - - perhaps a clue lies within this list:

Scott   David   3   Glen Haven

Scott   Joseph   Glen Haven

Scott   Nataniel   50   Scott

Scott   O. W.   6   Scott

Scott   Sarah   Mrs.   10   Glen Haven
