I suspect this is the farming land that Adella inherited? from her first husband.  Or, is this land from Amos' family?  Or, did they purchase this land together after they were married?

1876, age 17

Adella Grace Scott married Morrill D. Scribner in Franklin, Merrimack, NH on 23 December 1876.

He was her neighbor 6 years ago.  At this point, Morrill is 21 years old, Adella is 17.  Morrill is a farmer in Salisbury while Adella is a teacher in the same town.  This is a first marriage for them both.  They were married in Franklin Falls, New Hampshire, in the Baptist church

Morrill's parents were Jeremiah and Eliabeth Stevens Scribner.  Her parents are listed as Harvey and Mary Jane Bacon Scott.  The record is not filled out fully, which is frustrating but is pretty typical, unfortunately.

1870 Census, Salisbury, Merrimack NH
Amos and Mary J. Ham

age 36, born 1834 in Vermont.  He is a farmer with $1850 personal estate value and $600 Real Estate Value.  His "inferred" spouse (as Ancestry.com calls it) is Mary J. Ham, and his daughter is age 13, Nellie, from a previous marriage.

of note is the Scribner family in close proximity, including George age 21 and Morrell K. age 14.  Morrell would later go on to marry Adella G. Scott.  Looks like they were childhood pals.

1870 Historical Insight -- 15th Amendment to the US Constitution

When the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in early February 1870, celebrations erupted in African American communities and abolitionist societies disbanded thinking their work was done. The amendment prohibited government at all levels from denying voting rights to men based on race.

The Republican Party gained an African American voting bloc in the North. However, African Americans who wanted to vote in the South were met with poll taxes they could not afford, literacy tests they could not pass, and threats of violence from the Ku Klux Klan they could not ignore. Voter registration among African American men in Mississippi decreased from 67 percent in 1867 to 4 percent in 1892.

The Supreme Court ruled in 1876 that poll taxes and literacy tests were legal, effectively nullifying the intent of the 15th Amendment and leading to the entrenchment of Jim Crow laws for another 90 years.

Daughter Mertie is born 22 March 1873 in Salisbury, Merrimack NH.  The only source for this birth is the 1880 Census when she is age 7, and her Christmas marriage record of 1893 when she is documented as 21 years old.  These are both considered secondary sources.
