My maternal 3rd-great granduncle, Thomas GROENENDYKE, married his second wife, Hettie BALLARD on December 20, 1899 in Madison County, Indiana. The license records the surname as GROENDYKE.
Thomas was born October 2, 1852 near Frankton, Madison County, Indiana, the son of Elias and Nancy (JENKINS) GROENENDYKE. His first wife, Emily SMITH, had died in 1895. Hettie BALLARD was born March 1865 in Indiana. I do not know who her parents were at this time. She was previously married to J.U. THOMAS.
Thomas died November 25, 1944 in Madison County, Indiana. I do not know where Hettie died. The last record I have for her is the 1920 census. They were living in Lafayette Township, Madison County, Indiana.
