Greetings Phyllis, Your Laura L VANARSDALL caught my attention. I suggest you consider Mercer County, KY for records of her parents, Mary J. PENNY and John TERHUNE. There you will find several VanArsdall, Penny and Terhune families intermarrying. While I can't document a marriage between Mary & John, above. We do have a marriage between William Marcus Terhune and a Mary James Penny. Wlliam, a minister, was the s/o Ruliff Terhune and Mary "Polly" Vermillion. He was born in 1833, and died tragically in 1872. I believe his widow subsequently married another Terhune but I don't know his given name. Hope this will be of *some* help. Good luck and Merry Christmas, Barb Terhune VanArsdale-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Part 1.3Type: Microsoft MHTML Document 4.0 (message/rfc822) >
