Ruth Higley was the daughter of Elam Higley and Jane McMillin per our family historian, John Robert Adney. The Glenn name on her marriage record to William Adney is a mystery. Perhaps she was adopted by the Glenns after her parents' divorce.
The Adney family did not mention her second husband, Henry McMillin, that she married on Dec. 14th, 1874.
