One more try -- any one researching these?? Hiram Gilbert was born in Licking County, Ohio (early 1800's) he married a Sarah Smith who was born in New York and moved to Licking County. I haven't been able to find a marriage license but it also had to be in Licking County. They had a son Elias Gilbert (Born 10-15-1827 Licking County, Jersey Township, Ohio. He died 10-20-1906 in Madison County, Grand River, Iowa) he married in about 1853 I believe in Licking Couny but again can't find a marriage license. His spouse was Mary Shambaugh (Born 2-20-1833 Carroll County, Baltimore, Maryland Died 12-227-1901 Madison County, Grand River, Iowa) Mary's parents were James and Sarah Shambaugh. James was in the 1840 Census [State OH County Licking Location St Albans Page 338] Can anyone help with information on these two families? Thanks, Janet Hanson hanson@idir.net
