Amanda Mapes married Frank Willis in 1862 in Mercer County. Any information would be appreciated.
Aaron A. Mapes and Elenor Evans was married in Mercer County on September 6th, 1848. In the "History of Mercer County - 1882", a Mr. Mapes and his wife were listed as part of a group that formed the United Brethren Society in Keithsburg. Could this be Aaron and Elenor? 1860 Census, Line 772: Ellen Mapes, born in Ohio, is 49 years old and listed as a "washwoman". Living with her in Keithsburg Township are; William - age 20, Amanda - age 14, Daniel Evans - age 18 and Viola Mapes - age 6. All were born in Ohio. 1870 Census, Line 221: Ellen Mapes is 58 years old in 1870. She lives in Keithsburg Township with her sons, William - age 30 and Vic - age 15. William was born in Ohio and Vic was born in Illinois. The record (Vol. A - page 80 - License 1606) shows Amanda Mapes married Marion Willis in Mercer County on April 1st,1862. Was Frank a middle name?

Dear George, Do you think that Aaron A. and Eleanor were married in Mercer Cty, Ohio, because if their children were born in Ohio, they surely were married there, don't you think?
