Nellie married her first cousin George Place, but they are cousins on his mother's side, not the Place line. Two of his great-grandmother's sisters married Places.

My ex and I are extremely distantly connected through the Marshes. From my notes I can tell that's where you and I were corresponding before; the Marsh-Love families. My FTM program tells me I am Pamela/Permelia's 3rd cousin 5x removed and her 6th cousin 4x removed. I'm not even going to try to follow that! I have gotten caught up in the whole Daviess County intermingling. I have similar interests in Bartholomew and Scott Counties, IN; Pike Co., IL; Lee Co., VA; and Osage Co., KS; also to a certain extent KC MO. We find these places where everyone seems to be related to everyone else either by blood or marriage and often both. My database is enormous and I just keep on . . .

Hello again Vanette, I checked my database for George and Nellie and yes, I found them and yes, I am related to George. I am descended from the Marsh and Love families as well as a lot more families in the Daviess and several other counties area. I first became related to the Place family when my ancestor Catherine Bensley married Henry Love SR. Catherine's sister was Anna Bensley and married Peleg Place. The Love and Place family inter married several times. My Alexander Knapp Love lost his parents when they died as a small boy. He and his siblings were raised by Aunts and Uncles. When Alex was 15 years old in 1837, he came to Daviess Co., MO in a covered wagon with his Aunt and Uncle. Their name was Place. Other ancestors besides the Marsh and Love families are McCrary, Splawn, McCoy, Manuel, Mershon, Puckett, Potter, Johnson, Conover, Kerns, Whorton and I probably left one or two families out. I am related to many families who married into these families. I have a BIG family. Keeps me very busy. I also research my husbands family. It's a lifetime thing. I am never caught up. It's been very nice e-mailing you again. Lu --- VanetteHobbs@aol.com wrote: > > In a message dated 7/16/2007 10:05:27 A.M.
