Questions: Why would William and Mary have gone to Madison County, Kentucky, to get married? Does any one have proof that the marriage listed in Madison County marriage index was indeed the two people who lived in Saline County prior to their marriage and following their marriage, or additional information that might provide some credence to this claim OR, is the report in Wheeler Cousins an error or an assumption based on coincidental names? Without additional information, a Saline county marriage would seem to make more sense than a Madison county marriage. Response: There could be several reasons for a Madison County marriage: ongoing estate settlement of Thomas who was killed in the War of 1812, a family visit (Clary's mother-in-law was still living in Madison Co.), or perhaps the Saline info is in error and Mary was from KY. Clary's oldest , Susannah, married William Wolfskill in 1817 in Garrard Co. and they moved to Saline Co. In 1819, Clary moved the family to Saline Co. ; she married William McMahan there. I am not aware of actual proof which states the William & Mary in the Madison Co. marriage records are the same ones, but consent was given by John Harris, father of the bride. There were no John Harris' in the 1820 Garrard County census, two John Harris' in the Madison County census, and no John Harris. in the 1820 Saline County census. Where was Stephen Wheeler born? Response: I believe this is an error in the Saline info. Stephen was born abt. one year before his father was killed at Old Fort Miami in Maumee, OH. There is no indication Clary veer went to Harrison County for Stephen's birth. Her entire family lived on the Garrard/Madison County line until she left for Saline Co. in 1819. Gary W.
