I’m seeking help to find a clue to the second marriage of my great-grandmother. I’ve tried just about everything I can think of and failed to find anything past 1877. Rebecca Fannin was born in 1850 in Wayne County, now West Virginia. Her parents were Silas and Polly (Ferguson) Fannin. The name is often spelled "Fannon." The marriage was recorded in Wayne County Marriage Records 8 August 1868, "Rebecca Fannon, 18, daughter of Silas M. Fannon, married Reece Workman, 18, son of M. and E. Workman, married by H. Smith." Reece took my grandfather and abandoned Rebecca before 1874. She divorced him in Wayne in 1877. Family told that she "remarried and moved away." After her divorce, she may have taken her maiden name back (Rebecca Fannin), or because she had a son and didn’t know where he was, she could have retained her first married name (Rebecca Workman). I have personally searched the probate records in Wayne County and if she left a note where she could be contacted, it was where it should have been. Siblings of Rebecca were: Theodore, Easton, Jeremiah, John, Thomas, George, Mary, Celistia, and William. John married in Wayne County then went to Johnson County to raise his family. He died at Odds, Johnson, Ky. In 1923. Thomas married and went to Ashland, Boyd, Ky. To live where he died in 1940. Celistia married in Catlettsburg and died there about 1892. William’s widow Malinda (Osborne) Fannin was listed in the Johnson County 1900 Kentucky Census. So it is very possible that Rebecca with her second husband moved to Kentucky, possibly Boyd or Johnson County. ____________________________________________________________ Click here to find experienced pros to help with your home improvement project. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/PnY6rw2eRIamzsynDC1GL5yA31BWUlSuSR8n4Qw2Jw074D2YjuQr2/
