Why in the world don't you ___ card and why don't you come over.  I'm just sick to see you.  Hazel Young visited me last week had a time.  Suppose you still don't look at poor little Otto.  I weigh 85 pounds how is that

Miller Marriage Records Darke County, Ohio

Early Marriage Records of Darke County, Ohio 1817-1865 M-Z

Found this book in the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, several months ago and just now getting around to extracting the information for my files.  In this volume, I found Miller relatives (through the Petry line).

Miller, George m. Barbara Bollinger Apr. 24, 1859 by Jacob Miller, M.G.  George was the son of George Miller and Catherine Petry, making him my paternal first cousin four times removed.

Chew Marriage Records in Darke County, Ohio

Early Marriage Records of Darke County, Ohio, 1817-1865 A-L, Fort Greenville Chapter DAR, recopied by Margaret Snyder, 1966.

Found this book in the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, several months ago, and just now getting around to extracting the information on my relatives.  In this volume I located two Chew relatives.

Chew, Abel W., m. Sarah Holderman Oct. 2, 1862 by John L. Bates.  Abel Woolston Chew was my paternal 2nd-great granduncle, the brother to Mary (below).  I have his marriage in my database taking place on September 25, 1862 in Greenville, and his wife being named Salome H. Holdeman.  Whether the name was Holdeman or Holderman will need to be sorted out as well.

Chew, Mary H., m. Luman W. Lemaster Oct. 2, 1864 by Jason Young, M.G.  Mary Keziah Chew was my paternal 2nd-great grandmother.  I already knew her marriage took place on October 2, 1864 in Versailles, Darke County, Ohio. The transcription of her middle initial may be an error.  The Jason Young who performed the ceremony may be a relative of Luman's.
