I reside in Hartford City,Indiana. I'm desperately trying to locate the Marriage Record for my Gr.Grandparents,James Floyd McDaniel & Louisa/Lyde (Murphey)?/McDaniel. James Floyd McDaniel was born May 1,1853 / 1855 in Rockbridge County,Virginia. He is the son of Samuel & Mary Ann (Wilkinson/Wilkerson)McDaniel. Louisa/Lyde (Murphy/Murphey/Phillips) McDaniel was born May 2nd or 3rd,1863 /1865 in Upshur County,W.Virginia, The reason I put the possible maiden names for Louisa or Lydia is because I have found her on family records under all 4 names,therefore I'm not positive on what her actual maiden name was. James Floyd McDaniel is on the 1870 Census,still in Rockbridge County,Virginia,but in January/1884,James Floyd & Louisa McDaniel are residing in Henry County(Blue River Township- I think),Indiana. There has been census searches done,1880,for James Floyd McDaniel,he doesn't show up anywhere,in state,out of state. Therefore,between the years,1870 - 1884,I have no clue of his whereabouts. Seems like,for 14 years,he just went,POOF !! On the 1900 Census Record for this family,it states that they have been married for 18 years,so that gives me a possible marriage year of 1882. The first 2 children(twins) of this family were born on January 23,1884 in Henry County,Indiana. The twins were pre-mature and died the same day. Therefore,sometime between 1870 & 1884,is the possible marriage years for James & Louisa or Lydia,I've found her under both first names on family records also. I just haven't been able to locate their Marriage Record/Location. It could be anywhere from Upshur County,W.Virginia,Rockbridge County,W.Virginia,through Ohio to the eastern counties of Indiana,until they ended up in Henry County,Indiana in January of 1884. I know this could prove to be a huge search in trying to locate James & Louisa's marriage record,but if anyone could possibly locate it,I'd be forever greatful. If it could be found,I'd like to get a copy of it !! There has been searches done for this marriage record through Ancestry,nothing has been found so far !! It's even possible that they were married in a church somewhere !! James & Louisa/Lyde McDaniel are both buried in the Beechgrove Cemetery in Muncie,Indiana. I've been to their gravesites. I know these people to be my Gr. Grandparents & Gr. Gr. Grandparents,I have traced them through family records here in Indiana. Samuel McDaniel & Mary Ann Wilkinson/Wilkerson were married in Rockbridge County,Virginia on August 29,1838. I have the copy of this Marriage Record,it's online !!
