MJ's brother or cousin??? > > Any comment?] > Any suggestion on how to piece together the marriage for our Mary Jane? > > -Julie >> Hi Julie, I had no luck in finding a marriage between a Mary Jane BUCK and a __PEARL in our Huron County, Ohio Marriages, 1815-1900, by Scheuer Publications, 1992. If Mary Jane had been married to a PEARL before her marriage to Abel BARBER, I wonder a bit why she was listed in our marriage book as just Mary Jane PEARL in her marriage to Abel BARBER, and not Mrs. Mary Jane PEARL. Yet, in your 1850 census of the Edward C. RIGGS household you show a Mary PEARL, age 14 (b. ca 1836), suggesting she was the daughter of the union of Mary Jane and a PEARL. Conceivably, this Mary PEARL (b. ca 1836) could be the Mary Jane PEARL who married Andrew J. GOODEL 15 April 1858. The name would work, as well as the age at time of marriage. This latter marriage appears in both our Huron County, Ohio marriage book, and the IGI online web site (www.familysearch.org). This site shows the birthyear and birthplace of Mary Jane PEARL as ca 1837, and "Huron, Ohio." As the tag line of the old joke goes---there's got to be a pony somewhere under all this!
