Author: pruf4it Surnames: Jackson, Babcock Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.jackson/13061/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have records for a double marriage on 2 Mar 1908 in Orange Co., Indiana. The parties were: Roy Babcock b.ca 1888 to Zora Jackson b.ca 1887 - and - John Jackson b.1887 to Zora Babcock b.1889 (Elzora) John and Zora Jackson were siblings according to info on the records, children of William and Mary Ida Jackson, so it would seem Elzora and Roy were also siblings but apparently not so. Elzora was dau of Joseph L. & Sarah Babcock but Joseph and Sarah show no son named Roy in their household. Sarah says she has 8 of 9 children living but that's the 1900 census and this marriage took place afterwards. All their children are accounted for in other marriages so Roy did not have 3 names. I have been unable to find any Babcock named Roy in the Indiana area and certainly he could have popped up from some other state but what a coincidence if so. And Roy nor Zora are ever found individually or as a couple after their marriage. Were there such people?? Did the county clerk make a big recording error confusing info given to him? Does anyone recognize Roy or Zora Babcock or know what happened to them if they existed? I have searched every which way and find no matches or anyone even similar. Thank you.
