It will be a couple of weeks before I am home and settled enough to go up town.  Do you have anymore than names for these two you want me to check on?  Please check the Family History Library Catalog for films they may be in.  That always makes it easier if I have an idea where to look.  The catalog is on FamilySearch . org click on search records , then on library catalog .  I like to do a place search to see what records are available in a certain area.  There are other searches available.  The actual records are not on line, but there is a short discription of the microfilmed record in the library.  Searching the records at the library is free and I can pull and search as many records as I need in the time I have. Another thing - if you haven't tried it - under search records   is also a record search pilot .  This is a place where you can search the records that have been digitized from the library collection.  Some of these have been indexed by people around the world.  You can type in a name, etc, and search for a person or you can click on Search or Browse our record collections and see a lot of different records that have been digitized.  Another choice from familysearch.org is Index Records .  If you click here, you can help index the records.  The indexing program downloads a small program to your computer and then you can download a batch and transcribe the names onto a form so they can be searched by name.  You will have to register to use these services but the registration is free and they don't add you to an email list or anything.

Is Mary Ann Todd related to Mary Todd Lincoln?   Mary Todd Lincoln was born about 50 years later than Mary Ann, in Kentucky.  She had  ancestors who had moved to KY from the Philly area. I was unable to attend this years reunion, and am anxiously awaiting for synopsis of the reunion and what new info the researchers have found. I may get to go to the Salt Lake City area next summer.   We want to visit the Northwest national parks and are starting to work with our travel agent to put something together for early next summer.   We made the circle from Phoenix  to Grand Canyon, Zion, Moab and back four years ago, but have not seen the parks north of there.

Alice: I looked arou,nd through the FamilySearch.org that you noted. It has both Owen Hugh and Mary Ann Todd in there, but it dead-ends with them and does not show their ancestors. Owen, born ~ 1744 in East Nantmeal Twp. death 13 Oct. 1774 Mary Ann, born 15 Apr. 1776 in Fayette Co PA. This is troublesome, since we have always thought that she was born in Montgomery Co, which is where some of Mary Todd Lincoln's ancestors were. The Montgomery Co. came from the belief that her home would have been near where she married Isaac. It is listed in the Deems writings that they were married in Berks Co. 08 Aug. 1793. The LDS researcher does not give a reference for his info. In any event, Owen had land in Fayette, and after he and Hannah were married, he died when Isaac was only 3 yrs old. Hannah returned to the east, and married a Millard. Presumably, she took Isaac with her and it would have been after he married Mary Ann that they went west and assumed Owen's properties in Fairchance. This is speculation, but one source had Isaac's father as being "Thomas" , perhaps errantly because he could have lived with his uncle Thomas Wynne who had property in Fairchance also. Nother thing I failed to mention on my Lincoln expo is that Lincoln's ancestors were related to Daniel Boone's ancestors which puts another ring in the Philly - Fairchance - Kentucky triangle!
