I see that you had the details of name in your prior question... most persons won't always see each question.. so it helps to put them in each one.
Just friendly tip...
It looks like you MIGHT be able to find relatives/ descendants of the Miner/ Minor family. Since her parents birthplace is blank in the census, she MIGHT be an orphan.
and I owe an apology...
Carrie age 11 is born in Iowa
Stella age 5 is born in Kansas
But.. Leah's place of birth is shown as Mississippi. IF the census is correct, then it is POSSIBLE to look in the 1870 census for Madison county for a Harvey family. You MIGHT luck out. Familysearch does not have 1870, it just is 1880.

Without her name and birth year it is hard to help you. This is my standard list of large free genealogy sites. You could try them. Family Search is on them.

Marriage at 13 wasn't unheard of back then. 16 was more common, but it happened at 13 now and again.

==================================
This is a text file I paste to questions like yours. People ask similar questions 3 - 14 times a day here. You get a long, detailed answer, I don't get finger cramps. It is long because there are over 400,000 free genealogy sites.

It is also long because researching your family tree is as hard as writing a term paper in a History class. You don't have to be a rocket scientist, but you won't do it with five clicks. I could tell you everything I know in 30 minutes, but not 3.

If you didn't mention a country, we can't tell if you are in the USA, UK, Canada or Australia. I'm in the USA and my links are for it. If you are not, please edit your question to add a country. Genealogists from the UK answer posts here too. They are more experienced and more intelligent than I am. I'm better looking and my jokes are better.

The really good stuff is in your parents' and grandparents' memories. No web site is going to tell you how your great grandparents decorated the Christmas tree with ornaments cut from tin foil during the depression, how Great Uncle Elmer wooed his wife with a banjo, or how Uncle John paid his way through college in the 1960's by smuggling herbs. Talk to your living relatives before it is too late.

You won't find living people on genealogy sites. Don't look for yourself or your parents.

So much for the warnings. Here are some links. These are large and free. Many of them have subtle ads for Ancestry.com in them - ads that ask for a name, then offer a trial subscription. Watch out for those advertisements.

If you try the links and don't find anyone, go to

It repeats each link, but it has a whole paragraph of tips and instructions for each one.

In the USA, some public libraries have census image subscriptions. Many Family History Centers do too. FHC's are small rooms in Mormon churches. They welcome anyone interested in genealogy, not just fellow Mormons. They have resources on CD's and volunteers who are friendly. They don't try to convert you; in fact, they don't mention their religion unless you ask a question about it.
