Description	:	Not sure which or if either last name is her Nee. Per email of 30 March 2008. Her Maiden name was Higley, the daughter of Elam Higley, she was born in Meigs County, Ohio. Thanks ∼A FindAGrave Member contributes: 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.
