Charles Scott was born in what is now Powhatan County, Virginia, in 1739. He entered military service in the French and Indian War and rose to the rank of captain. During the American Revolution, he earned the ranks of lieutenant colonel and brigadier general. He moved to Kentucky in 1787, representing his new area in the Virginia House of Delegates in 1789-1790. Scott won election as governor in 1808 as a Jeffersonian Republican. He died in 1813, shortly after his term ended. Scott County, Kentucky, was named in his honor.
