Pardon the imposition, but I just found out that my ancestor got married in Wayne County and wondered if you might know some things about Wayne County genealogy/history that I don't. The info: 1863 09-28 (28 Sep) IN Wayne County marriage: Granfield, John m. Mary Grifin (sic), by J.M. Villars, Catholic priest, Witness Sol. Meredith: Book H, p. 426, Fiche 4319. The questions: This is the first record of John after he immigrates 19 Sep 1854. Any idea why or how he made his way to Wayne County? The next records we have are of a lifetime in Cincinnati. Do you think he was already there and came up to Wayne County to marry? My first theory was that the bride's family was there, but then I found other Granfield records in Wayne County (see below). If you have any suggestions where to look next for info, I would appreciate it. Thanks much, Kevin Grandfield in Chicago The other info: Grandfield, Geo H, M, W, 6, d. 31 Jan 1886/7 Richmond; Book CH-9, p. 96 Fiche ?; also Book H-20, p. 204 Fiche ?.
