The reason I know her maiden name is because it's on her 1892 marriage license from Ohio. She married Henry C. Hershey from Ohio and had 3 children. She was born 15 Oct 1876 in Kentucky (on marriage license) and she shows up in Ohio for the 1900, 1910, 1920, & 1930 census. She died in Cincinnati on 22 Nov 1960. She goes by Nellie in the first 2 census, so I assumed she would be Nellie in the 1880 census. The only Nellie Owings I found was listed as living in Lexington with a birthdate abt. 1866. I assumed that was her with just a census error (there are so many!), but after some digging, I found the book "Owings and allied families, 1685-1985 : a genealogy of some of the descendants of Richard Owings I of Maryland" [found here: http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/FH14&CISOPTR=19293&REC=2 ) and that Nellie was married to someone else. Can anyone place her? I would be so appreciative! Casey Gilliam Zgonc Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
