| "Ohio, County Marriages, 1789-1994," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/X8KJ-7BC : accessed 27 Apr 2014), Ezekiel C. Chew and Laura H. Hubler, 23 Dec 1880; citing Darke, Ohio, United States, reference v e p 405 n 1311; FHL microfilm 1030773.
Located the marriage record of my paternal 3rd-great grandfather, Ezekiel Cooper Chew (1822-1888) to his second wife, Laura V. (Skeggs) Hubler, on December 23, 1880 in Darke County, Ohio.
Ezekiel's first wife, Caroline Bishop (Woolston) Chew, had died the previous year. Ezekiel and Caroline had 14 children together. Laura's first husband was John Hubler. I do not know if he was deceased or if they were divorced.
Ezekiel and Laura had two children together, Herbert Deacon and Edis Playfair. One source indicates that Laura died in Salamonia, Jay County, Indiana. Ezekiel was a physician and served a number of years in Jay County, Indiana and Darke County, Ohio.
Ezekiel later married again for a third time, when he moved to St. Joseph County, Indiana.

DNA : Eileen's McMillen match
Was contacted by Retta, a McMillen researcher, in regards to a match with Eileen's DNA on Chromosone 1. She asked to share family trees, and I believe we have a match through the McMillen family.
Eileen's maternal 3rd-great grandfather, James E. McMillen (b. 1811) was born in New York and the family migrated on to Marshall County, Indiana. The theory that Retta and other McMillen researchers is putting forth is that James was the son of the James & Keziah McMillen of Cussewago Twp., Crawford County, Pennsylvania. Retta directed me to another McMillen research, Mary Urban's tree at Ancestry.
This James & Keziah had at least 4 childen who appear in census records in Crawford/Erie Cos., PA as well as Niagara/Erie Cos., NY where members of the Willard family (who married McMillen) are located.
James McMillen was born circa 1780 Rhode Island was buying land in 1829 in Crawford County, Pennsylvania.
The DNA match shows a connection, now it is just a matter of finding the paper records to tie them all together. I have found a few other McMillen's in Marshall County, Indiana and have forwarded their contact information on to Retta. Hopefully, the paper trail will be able to match up soon.
