--part1_c5.8f71fea.26e78ae5_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thanks Bonnie. I was pretty sure there wasn't going to be one found. In 1866 Julia Ann (MOWDER) WILLIS applied for a pension after her husband John S. WILLIS died in the Civil War. The officials of the time tried to verify the marriage, but could not, so Julia had to have relatives and friends testify as to the actuality of their marriage. These witnesses testified that Vachel Hall , a minister, performed the ceremony. All this info comes from pension records. I have several names of officials in Belmont Co. and Monroe Co. if anyone would like them listed.

Thanks so much, Martha Sargent Martha, I do not find those names in the index for that time period (2 John, wrong years) in Wes Cochran's "Belmont Co., OH Marriages, 1803-1849. I initially looked in Volume 8 of the series of "Genealogical Records in Belmont Co., OH" because of the better info. and documentation, but they were not in that index either. No Mowder in either book. Have you tried http://www.familysearch.org Where did you get the Vachel Hall info. He did marry people in Belmont Co. -- Bonnie Burkhardt <burkhard@flash.net> <bburkhardt@juno.com> Let the threads that weave meaning through our yesterdays strengthen the tapestry of our tomorrows.
