Jonathan Adams (1849-1883), St. Joseph County, Indiana

Working on filling in some gaps in my database by utilizing the "Indiana Marriages, 1811-1959" database at Familysearch.org to see what updates and corrections I could find.

Jonathan Adams (1849-1883) was the first husband of Mary Jane Riddle (1845-1921), who later married my ancestor, Ezekiel Cooper Chew.  This marriage record at FamilySearch shows her listed as "Jennie Riddle".  Their marriage took place on January 7, 1873 in St. Joseph County, Indiana.
