We have a birth year of 1802 for Ann, based on her tombstone, which says that she was 52 years old at her death on September 1, 1854. We also have the record of her marriage to Thomas; they were married in Dundee, Scotland on December 12, 1833. The record names Ann's father as John Galloway, but does not give an occupation. Thomas was working as a draper at this time. Thomas and Ann were both of the Dundee parish. Ann would have been 31 years old in 1833, and Thomas would have been 27. Unfortunately this time period is too early to be covered by census records.
David Oliphant's Christian Banner ran an obituary for Ann but mentioned nothing about her birth place or family.
According to familysearch.org, there was an Ann Galloway born on October 16, 1802 to a John Galloway and his wife Margaret Harly. The birthplace is Clackmannan, Scotland. The year and the name fits but more research is needed before we can definitively state that John and Margaret are indeed the parents of Ann (Galloway) Scott.
