I've "rescued" and old marriage certificate belonging to Mr. John STOOTHOFF of Brooklyn, NY and his bride Miss Amanda F. JENNINGS of New York City, NY. The couple was married on the 2nd of Aug 1854 at the Norfolk Street Baptist Church in New York City with the officiating Pastor being M. L. ARMITAGE. The certificate was placed in an envelope with the name Mrs. J. STOOTHOFF and the words "Marriage Certificate" written on the front of the envelope. Based on limited research I was able to locate census information regarding this family: 1860 census of New York City, NY: John STOOTHOFF, age 31, a Clerk, born NY Amanda STOOTHOFF, age 30, born NY Harry STOOTHOFF, age 5, born NY Eunice JENNINGS, age 25, born NY 1900 census of Mt. Vernon, NY: John STOOTHOFF, age 72, born July 1827, married 45 years, born NY, parents born NY, Retired Amanda STOOTHOFF, wife, age 70, born May 1830, married 45 years, 2 children/1 living, born NY, parents born NY Thomas J. DONIGAN, son-in-law, age 49, born Oct 1850, married 5 years, born NY, parents born NY/NJ, a Tobacco Merchant Mary J. DONIGAN, dau-in-law, age 40, born Jan 1860, married 5 years, no children, born NY, parents born NY Elizabeth DONIGAN, granddau, age 16, born Feb 1884, born NY, parents born NY, at School Harry DONIGAN, grandson, age 14, born Oct 1885, born NY, parents born NY, at School Elizabeth DONIGAN, lodger, age 71, a widow, born Dec 1828, 1 child/1 living, born NJ, parents born Ireland/England +2 additional lodgers I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hi Shelley Cardiel, I have Jennings in my family. My Paternal Grandmother's sister Gladys Boyce married a Roy Jennings. Roy's parents were Nathan Jennings and Emma Moody. I have forwarded your email to my cousin that is a Jennings and an avid family history researcher to see if this is her family. Thanks for posting this hopefully it is our family. I will let you know what I find out.
