Looking for a marriage between a William A. Penter/Panter and Sirena (Unknown) who got married about 1840... ----------------------------------------- One possibility is listed in the Illinois data base, remember the flowery spidery handwriting: Reuter, William H to Pate Cyrena S on 16 Apr 1843, Book A, Page 13 ------------------------------------------ Susan, Some of my friends and I have started to copy the Washington County marriages. This is what my friend sent above from what we have transcribed so far. The handwriting is very difficult to read but I think this is a close fit. Since we got the names wrong you might look for a TATE as well as PATE for his wife. Good luck. Gloria
