I have just noticed that Joseph m. th Elizabeth McHenry and Showers m. Elizabeth McKendrick were married on the same day (9/7/1879). So, is anyone out there related to Elizabeth McHenry?. If so, who did she marry? Also, I still haven't gotten Joseph Bloom m. Jane Bloom Oct 1, 1876 attached to parents. I appreciate all the help you all have given me so far on the Joseph Blooms.
