R. Taylor Scott

Robert Taylor Scott (1834 - August 6, 1897) was a Virginia lawyer who was three times elected to serve as Attorney General of Virginia.

From Fauquier County, Virginia, Scott graduated from the University of Virginia in 1856, and studied law under his father. He served as an officer in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. After the War he was elected to the State Convention, and was elected in 1881 to a term as a member of the Virginia General Assembly.

Scott was elected Attorney General in 1889, succeeding Rufus A. Ayers, and was twice re-elected. Scott died while in office, and was buried at Warrenton, Virginia.
