I am seeking information on a Mary J. JACQUES that was born in Maryland. Possibly Washington Co., Maryland. Story has it that Mary J. JACQUES married John EVERHART. John EVERHART was born 24 Aug. 1791 in Middletown, Maryland. What I am trying to find is marriage informaiton on Mary J. JACQUES and her parents and sibblings plus birth of Mary J. JACQUES. If anyone can help me out it would greatly be appreciated.
