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.

"Indiana, Marriages, 1811-1959," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/KZC2-W4K : accessed 30 Jun 2013), Jonathan Adams and Jennie Riddle, 1873.

Jonathan died November 30, 1883 in Granville Township, Mercer County, Ohio. Mary Jane 'Jennie' Riddle married Ezekiel Cooper Chew sometime between then and 1888, when their son Wiley Riddle Chew was born in St. Joseph County, Indiana.

LeMaster Picnic, 2013 Invite

Received the invite this week to our annual LeMaster family picnic in September.  For several years all of the Ord & Ruth (Haley) LeMaster descendants have been gathering in Alexandria at my parents house.  Looking forward to seeing my cousins again and their ever-growing families.
