Hi listmembers. Does anyone live in Jefferson Co and could check out a local library for a copy of this book and do a lookup for me: Grooms and Brides of Jefferson County, New York -- by Ellen & John Bartlett [pub 1993, approx 50 pages] The book is said to contain about 2700 marriages in the period 1830 to1938, taken from newspaper clippings. Grooms and brides are arranged alphabetically. I am looking for records of two marriages: (1) Henry Harrison HINES/HINDS and Betsey (Betsy or Eliz(s)abeth) FALL/FALLS. Henry was born Jan 1817 (Watertown); Betsey's birthdate &US birthplace are unknown. Their marriage was likely in the period 1833 (earliest - HHH being 16) up to 1842 (latest -- based on birthdate of their child, Henry F. HINES b. 19 Feb 1843). I believe all official civic and/ or church records of their marriage were probably destroyed in the great Watertown fire of May 12, 1849 (ref: http://www3.imcnet.net/trinity/history.html Henry Harrison HINES/HINDS is my gr-gr-grandfather. (2) Henry F. HINES b. 19 Feb 1843, (Jefferson Co?) NY and Phoebe EVANS b. 3 Sep 1848, Schroeppel, Oswego, NY. They were likely married about 1864/65 based on birth of their first child, Franklin HINES b. abt. 1865 at Gilberts Mill, Oswego Co., NY. Many thanks, in advance. // Regards, Gord HINES (in Regina SK Canada -- far, far away from Jefferson Co, NY)
