Married Gabriel Green Partain, Aug 1867, Joplin MO. Gave birth to Rebecca Abigail Partain, June 27, 1868, and Jacob "Jake" S. Partain, August 26, 1870. Elizabeth Pricella Starnes-Partain died in childbirth with Jacob, Lebanon, Laclede Co., MO.. There is also belief that Elizabeth Pricella Starnes' name was Abigale (or could have been her mother or grandmother), and that's how my grandmother (Rebecca Abigail Partain) got her middle name. Gabriel Green Partain, born April 17, 1845, Scott Co AR. Civil War, 2nd Ark Infantry, and served in Missouri, and that's where he probably met Elizabeth Pricella Starnes. Gabriel Green Partain (family lore) left his two children with Elizabeth's parents and moved down to Pleasant Grove, Dover, Pope County, Arkansas, where his uncle had some property. Gabriel Green Partain worked for over a year, bought a piece of land from his uncle, bought a wagon, and went back to Missouri and picked-up his two children, and, took them back to Pleasant Grove, Pope County, AR.

It is amazing what a letter to most libraries, along with a two to a five dollar donation will get for you. The donation often covers copy costs. There have been a time or two I have gotten nothing, once a reply and my money back saying they didn't have the manpower to do searches, and once my letter was passed to the local historical society that wasn't listed any where. The historical society pres. turned out to be one of my husband's third cousins and we hit the "Mother-Lode" for .28 cents postage and a five dollar bill.

In going through old Cherokee Nation marriages as well as early statehood marriages we have found people from all over the U.S. coming to the area to marry. Seems they would catch the train and come to Indian Territory or the new state to marry--be it an elopement, for the romance of being married in Indian country, or whatever reason they might have. We have them from as far away as New York and PA.

Is anyone researching the surnames of Beagle or Weiford in Jasper County? We have a lot of questions about family members who were born, lived or died there. Sure would like to have someone to compare notes with. Are there any cemetary indexes that might have Beagle or Weiford listed? I know some lived at Carthage. I am not sure when they came to the area, but I know they were in the 1880 census there. Thanks for any suggestions or help that you can give me. Linda lbeagle@softcom.net
I posted the fact that I found my parents marriage because of I accidently found their marriage license in my own home and they were married actually in Vinita, Oklahoma. This was in 1930. In your information post speaking of the idea of surrounding counties and towns being "marriage mills", just as in California many turn to Nevada, especially Las Vegas, can you tell me how far back your statement would apply. I mean, was it the norm back in the 1800's or started after the turn of the century, or even later into the 1910's or 20's? I also would suppose that where they "fled to" to get married was always across the state line due to more relaxed marriage laws rather than to another county in Missouri? I need to find another one I am having difficulty with.
