Hi Kenneth.... I was able to confirm the marriage of William S. Berry to Scioty E. Garrett in 1856. Also, William's later marriage to Elizabeth J. Wethers on October 19, 1865, Massac County. Were you able to get a cause of their divorce on April 10, 1865? These were tumultous times with Lee's surrender on April 9th bringing the Civil War to an end. Massac and Pope Counties were in a precarious geographical position. President Lincoln was assassinated just 5 days later. I mention this, because it is very possible that Scioto left the area as early as 1861 if William went off to war. Do you know if he served in the military? You probably know that there were members of the Garrett family in Massac County, however, some of them may have migrated further North when the war began. I will hold on to your inquiry. I plan to add a "Most Wanted List" to our website, and will add her name when the page is finished. If there is anything I can do to help, contact me again. I am sorry I couldnt find more information at this time for you. Carol WALTER-Robinson robinson@empirenet.com xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx kenneths wrote: > My gggrandmother was Scioto E.
