I believe Alice Deets Scott Ransom and Delphine Scott Ransom were the daughters of James and Julia Scott, not James and Sarah Inman Scott. Julia died before 1860 as James is listed as a widower in 1860 US Census living with Delphine and Alice D. in Richland Township of Delaware County Iowa in June of 1860. Julia apparently died between 1854 (year of Alice's birth) and 1860.
The 1850 census in Oswego, Illinois, lists James,Jr.,(Inn Keeper), Julia (24) and Delphine (3) on the first three lines and then two Sarah Scott's near the bottom, one 54 and one 25. This would make one believe that Julia was the wife of the Innkeeper and the two Sarah's tenants.
If this is not confusing enough, the two Sarah's are (I believe) mother and daughter-in-law. The younger Sarah (Inman) Scott did marry a James Scott, Jr. He was the son of Sarah M Scott and James Scott, Sr. These James's were early land claimants in Little Rock, Illinois, a few miles from Oswego.
So there were two Sarah Scotts and two James Scott, Jr's, if my theory is correct.
