RADCLIFF & ELLIS Marriage Certificate
I've "rescued" the original marriage certificate belonging to John D. RADCLIFF and his bride Sarah F. ELLIS who were married in Harrison County, Indiana on the 11th of October 1866.The ceremony was performed by Henry MULVANY.Based on limited research I believe the groom is John David RADCLIFF b. 4 March 1844 to parents Joseph B. & Martha RADCLIFF.John died 9 August 1910 at Posey, IN.
The bride is Sarah Francis ELLIS b. 2 March 1848 in Harrison Co., IN to parents Richard R. ELLIS and Nancy S. WHITMAN.Sarah died 21 August 1926.John D. & Sarah F. RADCLIFF were living in Osage, Kansas with three children, Mary Ettie age 12, John W. age 10, and Nancy E. RADCLIFF age 6, during the 1880 census.
It appears the family moved from Indiana to Kansas sometime between 1870 and 1874.I was hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old family treasure could be returned to its rightful place with family, however, I was not successful so I have forwarded the certificate to the Indiana Genealogical Society in hopes that they will be able to locate someone from the family.If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact the Indiana Genealogical Society.
Thanks,
Shelley
