Just saw your query tonight.I am related to a Harvey Scott who m. Louella Truitt ca. 1870.According to the 1860 Ralls Co census Harvey was 10 and he had a sister named Mary E. who was 14.Would this fit the age of your Mary Ellen?Their parents in the census were were Thomas H. and Martha J.Do you know Mary Ellen's parents names or names of other siblings?She could have m. at age 15, I don't think it was unusual at all then.There are many Glasscocks in the Rall Co census.I'm anxiously awaiting your reply.You are the first person to ever ask about this particular branch of the family.
