We were making sugar when a man by the names of Isreal Rose came to get father to go up on Buckeye to old UNCLE JAMES PAYTON's to marry him and POLLY PAYTON, as father was a Justice of the Peace at the time. The contract was that father should go and say the good words for 75 cents, and that he was to come soon in the morning, so he and his new wife could make sugar enough that day to settle the marriage bill. That was in February, 1831." PEYTON---Perry & W.F. History Of Early Times "...On the west side in section 12, T. 4, R. 17 is Aaron's Creek, so named for Old Capt.

My 3rd Great Grandmother was Nancy Delilah Lunsford b 18 Nov 1819, d 10 Apr 1895 and buried in Virginia. Nancy Delilah Lunsford married (11 Apr 1839 Lawrence, Ohio) William Allen Boggs b 28 Sep 1815 in Gallia, Gallia, Ohio, d 11 Dec 1899. I don't have any more information about Nancy Delilah Lunsford, other than her mother was a Hudson. William Allen Boggs' parents were Andrew Elliott Boggs II b 1768 in Pennsylvania, d 20 Aug 1840 in Perry Township, Gallia, Ohio, married (6 Jan 1794 Greenbriar County, Virginia) Hannah Jane Bowen b 1778 Greenbriar, Virginia, d after 1845, Lawrence, Ohio. Her parents were Anthony Bowen and Alice Hamilton. Any further information would be greatly appreciated.
