Karen, I really appreciate the marriage information because in it I found the date of my grandparents, Claudius Spencer Hart, b. Great Yarmouth Eng., 1841, and Anna Liza Veatch, b. 1865, Brown County, IL. She'd come west for her health and lived mainly with cousins at a site close the Highway 10 bridge that crosses the Cucharas near Cucharas Station. He'd been bound out to a sea captain, jumped ship and tried to catch up with his sister Susannah Strange and her husband. Didn't do it until he'd come as merchandise to their store wagon in Denver. Buddied with Buffalo Bill, a scout for the frieght wagon train, ever after. Dad said they were married in that first building on the west side of Main Street and north of the railroad tracks. I've assumed that was an early courthouse, but don't know. It's a mortuary now. Anybody know its history? Grandpa built her adobe house near Aguilar and later a fine two-story on the same ranch, but they lived mainly at Apishapa which is no more. They became wealthy. She died and he married and that wife and the daughter he had by her got all the money. She didn't get an adobe one-room--supposedly it was 20 rooms on the south side of Trinidad. I wonder where it was and if it still stands. She'd tricked him into writing that kind of will and my Dad, Claud, rancher, deputy sheriff, deputy assessor, and beef wholesaler, his brothers Henry (rancher and long-time Huerfano Co., undersheriff) and Tom, and sister Corinne, who worked at Howards at one time, got nothing. Before I get caught up with family history, I must tell you I enjoy browsing the marriages and have looked up quite a number, some of them kin. Yes, the marriages are a labor of love well appreciated. Mainly because of Grandma Anna Eliza Veatch Hart the names on my search list are many. Royals have pedigrees yards long. I doubt that she knew she came from about a 1,000 years of reigning royalty. And my husband seems to have also been of royal descent with many of the same lines. So we were probably something like 1/27th cousins. No, I haven't listed all the ancestral names in the database. I have thrown in a few I'm researching for others. None but the Harts and DeWitts lived in Huerfano or Las Animas County.
