Something I got from another site awhile ago hope it helps someone If your ancestors came to America to escape persecution in their native land, you may want to look at this online exhibition by the Library of Congress. It gives a brief history of the religious sects that came to America, and you may view images of original manuscripts or art pertaining to the groups. Pretty interesting stuff! http://lcweb.loc.gov/exhibits/religion/religion.html

Thank you for your reply. It was a long shot at best. I was interested in her maiden name. Joe

Hi all, Received copy of marriage certificate yesterday but all it shows are the names and date of marriage. Does anyone have anything on John Thomas Smith and/or Mrs. Eliza Jane Hall? They were married in Gallatin County on 27 April 1867. I know that they had a son John Henry Smith and Eliza died shortly after. Any info would be appreciated. Patty
