I think I may have found the marriage of Elizabeth Rikers parents!! With LDS online I found a marriage 12 August 1851 in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey between George W Riker and Elizabeth Godby (IGI Record - Batch Number M514553) I know from George Lovelace and Elizabeth Rikers marriage that her parents were George W and Elizabeth Riker. Joseph Godby was a witness to that marriage. and the marriage of George W Riker and Elizabeth Godby took place the year before Elizbeth Rikers birth. No I just gotta get a copy of the original record!! Good Hunting Everyone Doris Mayer Reece
