Do you know if I have the marriage correct for Jacob and Margaret? I have been searching for their marriage license and coming up blank. At one time I found a burial in 1840 for a Margaret Bollinger in Bedford, PA but I can't find it again. I'm thinking that this Margaret is the mother of Jacob's 1st 6 children and married the Elizabeth and had 4 more children with Alexander being born in 1841. Can't prove it. Can you? Any old bibles? Henry Cruise Bollinger was my great-great grand father John Jacob Bollinger's brother. So I guess that is how Henry's family wound up in Marshfield, MO. The Tornado Story was most likely horrible for them. I have always wondered if the Margaret's maiden name was realy Crouse or Cruise. Do you have any documentation on that? I have in my data your Charlotte down to Lucy but stopped adding spouses for some reason. I grew up in Springfield, MO did you?
