Mary I believe was from Hardy County as Sigmon her husband was from Hardy County. Sigmon was born 1755 Hardy County and was the son of John Ours and Catherine Mathias Ours. I do not remember the exact date of Mary's birth but I believe it was circa 1761. In a pension record for widow benefits a George Simon signs an affidavit attesting to the marriage of Mary and Sigmon. Who was this George Simon? Any help appreciated. Betty Kimble Betty, In my family tree, I have Sarah OURS (1791-1880), married William Alexander WEESE, 1809, Hardy Co. Sarah was the daughter of Sigmon OURS & Mary Simon OURS. Sigmon was the s/o John OURS & Catherne Mathias. (According to records of Grace Lutheran Church of Mill Creek, Sigmon & Mary also had at least one other daughter born 1800) I also have George OURS, who married Sallie Bond, the parents of Alston Clyde OURS, Hardy Co. So far I have not connected them but I'm still working on it. Are they the same as what you have? If you find anything, let me know. Barbara Weese
