I am not trying to argue with you. It is just that if someone "told" you something, it doesn't make it accurate. I like to have sources with info like this. Sources meaning documents, not the people who told you the story. It's one thing not to have a birth date or birth town, and pass that on, that is just a stat. But when there is a child involved (as well as the family line onward), passing on information like this without a source makes this kind of info little more than gossip. Whether or not my ggrandmother has been dead for 80 years, and whether or not I ever met her, she's still my dad's grandma. Not to mention - there are many, many people whom you can never find marriage records for, especially in pre-1900 PA. Some of my other grandparents, as well as my parents, were married in Maryland. But no one has their marriage records. Does that mean they were not married??? No. I found out yesterday that this gem of a guy was married not only two times, but three. He was married a second time in Ohio, just after my grandmother - and dumped the woman he married **because she was still married to her previous husband**!! Lancaster County has the divorce petition and I now have a copy. There's my source, it's not gossip. These two could have been both married and divorced out of the state. As for him, karma's a biotch.
