The best information I have on the Almira Scott in my line is that she was born Feb 4, 1841 in Freeport, IL. Does that match with the age she would be in your 1860 census? My Isaac Scott (my g g g grandfather) and his family are in the 1860 census book for Grant County in the Town of Wingville (p 135). Almira was no longer living at home with them at that time. She would have been 19. Hiram Seth Scott, my g g grandfather was 15 that year. I don't have record of any Horace Scott. Isaac Scott's brothers were Israel (b 1792), Daniel (b 1793), Gad (b 1799) and Seth (b 1801). They were all born in MA.
