Okay, thanks. Do you know if Ajesta was ever married to John Fletcher Cherrington? It looks as if Ajesta divorced Charles E. Boice. His third marriage was to Flora Ellen Rumfield (John) Taylor and that ended in divorce too. His first marriage was to Ella C. Thaxton and she died. Also, I recently made a trip to the historical society for a copy of Elizabeth Darst Rife's will. Most researchers list Elizabeth's (Betsy's) place of death as Domino, Meigs County, OH. Her will, and newspaper articles, show Domino as being near Bulaville, Addison Twp., Gallia County, OH. At the time of her death, Nathan was postmaster for Domino.
