Seeking information about my great-grandfather, Newton A. MOYER. Newton lived and worked on the MOSTELLER farm at Quaker Hill in Eldred Twp, Lycoming Co, PA, at the time he married my great-grandmother (1903), Elizabeth Pearl BLAKER (14AUG1880-22MAY1953). Newton died suddenly at the age of 20 while Elizabeth was pregnant with their first child (my grandmother). He was not around very long, so little is known of him. According to my grandmother's childhood recollections, she heard that her father was from "down the line." That usually means Muncy, Milton, Lewisburg, etc. All stories relate that Newton and Elizabeth were married at Warrensville, Elderd Twp, Lycoming Co, PA, early in 1903 and my grandmother was born in November 1903. I thought for sure that a marriage license would give me a clue as to Newton's pedigree, but I cannot find one. I've checked Lycoming and surrounding counties. I understand that at this time a marriage license was required by all these counties. Also, Newton would have been under 21 when the marriage took place, so he probably needed the signature of a parent or guardian. When Elizabeth married her second husband, she indicated on her license that she was married in 1903 and indicates she is a widow. I am at a loss as to where to go to try to track down Newton's family, or even find a marriage license. Have others come across the lack of a documented marriage license after the time when they were legally required? Any suggestions about how to proceed would be most welcome.
