Notes from Larry Anderson.
Other dates, places are not matching up either, 18 Mar 1867, De Witt Co., IL instead of 7 Mar 1872 in Daviess Co., MOI do not believe James Scott could have been the father to the children of Letitia Glenn, who also was his first cousin once removed. Were they really married or is there a mix up, sounds like a mix up of marriage. However, if he was married to Letitia then I suspect the children would have been from a prior marriage of Letitia. Stranger things happen so I cannot yet cross out as impossible. This needs correcting.

This corresponds with a James Scott, born 1817, died 1872, and is buried in Old Scotland Cemetery. He gave the land for the cemetery.S-1980 IGI says marriage to Letitia Jane Glenn in 1831. Can't be right.
From notes sent by Opal Lousin, James A. Scott is the son of John Scott,
Jr., James had 3 children listed in this note, however, dates do not match
with marriage, unless he was married first with children before he married to
Letitia.
Marriage date from one source is specific, that is 3 May 1847 in DeWitt
Co., Ill. Children born 1842 to 1845. So I have left off the marriage date
for the time being?

S-Matt Scott, 423 S. Finley, Lombard, IL 60148.[Stretch.FTW]STORY OF LETITIA Jane Scott (GLENN)
by: Vesta Dunn, Gallatin, MO
In 1841, Letitia Jane Glenn was a beautiful young lady of 18, living with her father, Thomas Glenn, her mother, Anna Scott Glenn, and eight sisters and two brothers. Her father loved all his children dearly, but, being an early minister of the Gospel, he had very definite ideas of behavior for his young family. His rules were very stern and emphatic. Anna loved her husband for his high moral standard, but sometimes could not help it if she was a little sympathetic for her children.When Letitia was 18 years old she decided to marry her cousin, James Scott. James was six years older than Letitia and his father John Scott was Anna Scott Glenn's brother. This made Letitia and James first cousins.
Elder Thomas Glenn, as he was called because of his office in the church, forbade Letitia to marry James. He told her did marry against his will, she would be disinherited and he, or none of his family should ever see her again. This was a very harsh ruling and it took considerable courage for James and Letitia to disobey. However, one day Letitia slipped out and met James and they eloped to an adjoining county and were married.
Letitia could take very few belongings with her but her eight sisters had helped her dress for the elopement and they had piled eight dresses, one on top of the other, on her small body.
In August the following year, James & Letitia had a son and named him Martin Galey Scott. Then followed by two daughters, Mary & Ruth Ann. Soon after the third child was born Letitia died; in less than five years after she had left her fathers home.
Elder Thomas Glenn never relented in his ruling that none of the household should visit his daughter, who disobeyed and married her cousin. When Thomas was asked why he did not relax his strict ruling, he said that he had ten other children and the same rules must apply to all. However, the mother secretly stole out and visited her daughter, when she heard she was so very ill. It was talked that Elder Thomas did help his wife on these secret visits, but he always denied this.
The mother said she felt that having three children so close together and Letitia's longing to see her family, could possibly have hastened her early death.
