After reading the emails, I wondered if for some reason because the Setser's and DeZarn's lived in the same areas if there was not a marriage among them. But after searching my database I found only one DeZarn. Camiliza DeZarn married Breckenridge Baker (b. 09/27/1859). Not other information. Breckenridge is a brother to John Hatchet Baker whom married my great aunt Sarah Setser. Sarah is a sister to my great grandfather John Henry Setser of whom went to Vermilion Co IL.

Kristie, I have nothing in my database regarding marriages between your Setsers and my DeZarns. I am, however, quite familiar with Camiliza Dezarn and John Cabel Breckenridge Baker. According to my findings, they were never married but are the parents of Almarine "Alfred" DeZarn, born about 1888. Alfred died 24 March 1953, and he is the father of a noted Clay Co. KY ancestor named Stanley DeZarn, born 15 April 1922 in Clay Co., KY. I'm sorry to say that Stanley is in very poor health today while suffering from Alzheimers. So sad.
