Hello. The late Helen Hewitt generously posted the 1852 marriage info of my 2nd great grandparents, Josiah Allen and Naomi Renfro, on the MEIGS COUNTY MARRIAGES, 1850 – 1900 GenWeb page a number of years ago. The names were slightly mistranscribed, and appear this way:
ALLEN, Isaiah RENFRO, Naoma 25 Dec 1852
http://www.tngenweb.org/meigs/memar_a.htm
I have been attempting to determine the identity of Josiah Allen’s parents for a number of years, and am presently at a brick wall. I’m hoping that the marriage license might list his parents, though I’m not sure this was the custom in Meigs Co. at the time.
Problem is that I have not been able to locate the original license anywhere. I initially contacted the local courthouse by phone, and was told that they have no such license on file. After learning about the mistranscription on GenWeb, I wrote the courthouse a couple of years ago with this alternate name, but no one ever responded to my query.
I then wrote the local library, and again no one ever responded to my query in any way.
I know that Helen Hewitt must have had access to the original license at some point, but just don’t know where or how.
So, I was just wondering if there might be a kind soul in the area who might know how to go about tracking down the original, so that a copy could be obtained. Any and all assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks very much, and please feel free to contact me directly at bablckwd2.0@hal-pc.org.
