I got a query in 1997 from Pat CAVALLI mailto:patc29@msn.com looking for information on Jonathan, b 1803 NY, who married Jane MARTIN. They settled in Kirksville MO after the Civil War and are buried there. A daughter Elizabeth May RANSOM married Isaac Newton MEEKS. I don't have any further info, although a Mormon recently submitted temple work for a same-name couple married in 1933 in Butler Co PA. [musta' been their second marriage, to celebrate his 120th birthday or their 100th anniversary, with a return to the ol' homestead!] Maybe it got entered wrong, should be 1833? Jane MARTIN's father was Michael MARTIN, from Ireland. http://www.rootsweb.com/~pabutler/1883/83-22.htm also lists her siblings.
