Deanna: My data for Lemuel/Samuel marrying Mary Jane Thompson comes from Sallye Gundy, however, she has Lemuel's wife also shown as Allenbaugh with a question mark. I know that Lemuel married Mary Allenbaugh on 10 Sep 1848 in Fulton County, IL, and that she was born in IN. Consequently, I believe Sallye's information regarding Mary Jane Thompson is incorrect. From another source, I have your Samuel Hymer shown as a son of John B. Hymer and Sarah Jackson, both born in Guilford, NC, John on 6 Oct 1793, and Sarah on 15 Jan 1794. John and Sarah died in Rushville, Schuyler County, IL on 29 Oct 1862 and 19 Feb 1883, respectively. I hope this clears up the confusion. Sorry, I can't help you with the parents of Mary Jane Thompson. BTW: who are the parents of your John B. Hymer who was born in NC? Regards... John Charles Tippet JohnDoeTippet@csi.com P.S. I will be updating my web page tomorrow, and will include this correction. ---------- > From: Crafdee2@aol.com > To: johndoetippet@csi.com > Subject: Re: BeckelHymer > Date: Friday, April 30, 1999 9:35 PM > > Hi > Thanks for the email address.
