Are you sure of the birth dates of Mary & James? I have a date of May 25, 1842 for Mary, taken from her death certificate. It also gives her full name as Mary Marsden Greenwood in marriage records in Pottsville, PA on August 24, 1869. I have her father's name as James (another coincidence?) Mary named a son Franklin Marsden (Weller) in 1870. Are these just coincidences or is there a thread here? Minersville is a short distance from Pottsville in PA too. I have not heard of "Black Hills" associated with Minersville. Perhaps it's an area that locals called it Black Hills. Could "Scoubh" be mistaken for Schuylkill, which is the county name in Minersville & Pottsville? Hope I did more than confuse the situation!
