"Indiana Marriages, 1845-1920 ..." lists a marriage between Michael LEWIS and Emily MALOY, 20 Jan 1853, Bartholomew County, book C-5, page 220. His wife in Census 1860, Flat Rock Twp, is indeed "Emely ... 34" [thanks, DH!] There were five children at home. If it is indeed the same man who married Maria Elizabeth ROMINGER way back in 1921 -- I can only say, that's seventeen the hard way. I believe Elizabeth REED (1803-1833) had a ROMINGER grandmother, Elizabeth Barbara ROMINGER RIED (1741-1829). So Elizabeth REED and Maria Elizabeth ROMINGER (1794-1830) were something like first cousins, once removed. Does _Rominger's Roam_ mention Armstead and/or Elizabeth among the ROMINGERs named REED? Or does it not follow them that far downline?
