Bob, and Susan, I called Mark on the phone and then I emailed this to him. He is the one who had the Minerd info that I got. Read what he says........... -----Original Message----- From: Mark Miner <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Friday, September 25, 1998 4:09 PM Subject: Re: Fw: McKnight Info >Beth, > >Thanks for the call and for the information. None of it jives with anything I have. It is not the other McKnight-Minerd marriage, which involved Mahala McKnight's niece, Minnie Minerd (born 1869) who married James O. McKnight (born 1863, died before 1910) and lived at Fredericktown, Fayette County, PA. > >In the note you sent, there are tantalizing possibilities: > >1. The Monor names reads suspiciously close to Minor, and since the witness was "Daniel Minor," I suspect this is a typo. >2. The Henry-Hester names are identical to Mahala's parents >3. Witness Daniel Minor could well have been Mahala's brother, Daniel Minerd, who lived in Wharton Township, Fayette Co, PA. > >Here's one possibility. Is it possible that "Bolila" is the same as "Barbara"? There was a Barbara Minerd who is the only sister of Mahala's we have not yet found. It's conceivable, and entirely probable, that Mahala and her sister Barbara could have married two McKnight brothers. > >We need to check the census for further information - both in PA and in OH.
