Now I am kinda confused... did Ewell marry twice? As I have him married to Elizabeth Baker daughter of Daniel Baker and Mary Cain. This is supported by the presence of Mary Baker in Ewell's household in 1880 as his mother in law. thanks :-) Shanan On Sat, 22 Apr 2006 03:00:02 +1000, <[email protected]> wrote: > Ewell M.

RESPONSE: If I have it correctly, he was married perhaps 5 different times. So, no wonder we are all confused. He was a very busy man.

Who were Nelson Messer's (that married Mahala Davis)parents. Is he the same Nelson b. abt 1867, Parents Yewel Messer and Elizabeth Baker? thanks Shanan

RESPONSE: Hello, Shanan, The Nelson MESSER who married Mahala DAVIS is NOT the same Nelson MESSER b. abt. 1867 whose parents were Ewell MESSER and Mary Elizabeth BINGHAM. Nelson MESSER b. May 1831 Knox Co.; d. Jun 11, 1909 in Rockcastle Co., KY married Oct 22, 1850 in Knox Co. to Mahala DAVIS b. abt. 1835; d. Oct 5, 1874 in Knox Co. This Nelson MESSER's father was: Benjamin MESSER and an unknown lst wife. This particular Nelson MESSER also had spouses: Liddie/Lidia/Lydia/Biddie MARLOW and an Annie BUSH. The Nelson MESSER b. abt. Dec. 1867-1868 died March 13, 1939. He married Jun 15, 1884 in Knox Co. to Mary LEATH, dau. of Abraham LEATH and Catherine BAKER. This Nelson MESSER's parents were: Ewell M. MESSER and Mary "Elizabeth" BiNGHAM. This Nelson MESSER was also married to Mollie EPPERSON. Hope I got all that right.
