They were married 20 Nov 1873 in Jay County, Indiana. He was the son of Thomas Jellison and Martha M. ______. She was the daughter of Elijah Lyons and Mary Bailey. I know nothing concerning Jellison Line, I'm only trying to fill in data. I currently have no data on this couples children. I have not yet studied the 1880 Census records or prior to that. I don't know who John Jellison & Sarah "Sally" Harshman are. I know they had children because about 1975 I visited Indiana and met some of these Jellisons although I can't remember who or how they were related. This is not my direct line either, but understanding other kin can lead you to the data necessary to find more on the Direct line. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Is their a Lyons researcher other than myself on this list? >> !870 Fed Census Jay Co IN Jellison Clarence 15 Pike Twp Pg 6 H/F 40/40 Born IN Druzilla 23 " " 38 278/ 280 IN Ephraim 26 " 32 235/237 OG Farmer John 69 " 38 278/280 PA Laborer John E.
