Another few tidbits; John and Ursula (or Usely) were married 23AUG1858 in Carroll. John later remarried to Nancy A. Odle (d/o Isaac and Susan Odle) 01JAN1887 in Carroll. Mary Alverta married Jefferson S. Jennings (s/o Robert and Eveline Dalton Jennings) 20FEB1884 in Carroll. Jefferson had previously married Caroline Gallimore (d/o Sarah) 14OCT1880 in Carroll. I don't find a marriage or death record in Carroll for the other daughter. best regards, Ron Hall Sharon Minton Hill To: VACARROL-L@rootsweb.com <shill@cswnet.c cc: (bcc: Ronald W.
