The Moon family’s history in Scottsville is broad and deep, dating all the way back to the colonial era. Descendants of Littleberry Moon Sr., the prominent Moon family held extensive property in early Scottsville. By 1819, members of the Scott, Moon, Cole, Lewis, Dyer, and Hudson families together owned about 74 percent of the town’s platted lots.

During the Civil War, Private Samuel Moon, portrayed by John Settle, served in the Confederate Army with his brothers. Many young men from Scottsville served together in the same regiment, and many were killed or captured in their first campaign.
