Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4BC.2ACI/2110 Message Board Post: Hello, My name is Rosalie Adkins. I reside in Hartford City,Indiana. I'd like to locate the Marriage Record for my Gr.Grandparents, James Floyd McDaniel & Louisa/Lyde (Murphey)?/McDaniel. James Floyd McDaniel was born May 1,1853 in Rockbridge County,Virginia. He is the son of Samuel & Mary Ann (Wilkinson)McDaniel. Louisa/Lyde (Murphy/Murphey/Phillips) McDaniel was born May 2nd or 3rd,1863 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. 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. 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 were married in Rockbridge County,Virginia on August 29,1838. My contact info is as follows: Rosalie Adkins 1301 N. Cherry Hartford City,Indiana 47348 Phone: 1 - 765 - 348- 4226 E-mail: [email protected] Thanks to anyone who could try to help to find this marriage record !! Sincerely Rosie
