Yours of the 1 st inst. was duly rec d . In answer I have to state that there is no public Record kept of Marriages in the Courts of this State. The Marriage Ceremony is generally performed by clergymen or Justices of the peace, who keep an Entry of them and give the parties a Certificate thereof if required.
As it is upwards of 50 years since the marriage you inquire about took place, I presume the person who performed the Ceremony whether clergyman or Justice is now (No man on this land, and it is not very likely, if the person is known to your friend the Widow) that any Certificate on the subject could be obtained.
Yours Respectfully J. B. Oliver Proth.

Department of War Records Bureau of Pensions Washington D.C.
I am compiling a family history of my ancestors, and also to establish my claims to become a member of the "Daughters of the Am. Revolution." I am entitled by three lines of ancestry to this honor, but have no proofs of my rights in the shape of papers nor do I know how to obtain them. If you will kindly advise me I shall

greatly appreciate the favor. My daughters are entitled to make such a claim by their father's ancestry, and I wish also to include their plea with mine, and ask your assistance, if you will be so generous, as to the proofs, which may be forthcoming in your Department. My father's name was Evans, his ancestors came to Am. in 1670 & settled in Maine and at Dover and Epsom New Hampshire. His mother was a Miss Goodwin, from English ancestry who came about the same time as the Evans family, and:

also settled on the east bank of the Miamine river, at E'bram.
The descendants of these two families are my direct ancestors, and they fought in the Indian wars and in the Revolutionary war from the battle of Bunker Hill to the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. I have heard my father tell this many times, and at one time he had papers to prove it.
I think these were destroyed in the great flood in the Ohio valley in 1884. Our home on the banks of the Ohio was submerged

to the second floor for ten days. All the books and papers were well- nigh destroyed, as the flood rose so rapidly and my father was an invalid. I know he was very proud of his fine ancestry.
I do not know whether any of the Goodwins or the Evans s ever received any pensions or not. My father Mr. James Evans, never mentioned it.
On my mother's side, her grandfather was one Major John White, who was one of the guard when

Major Andres was shot, and was present at the shooting. He came to Marietta at the close of the Revolutionary War and settled in the Stockade at the point. He married Miss Priscilla Devoll. The first white child born in the Stockade was his daughter, Miss Sophia White, my mother's grandmother. She married a Mr. Blackstone, and my mother was Sarah Blackstone, born at Athens Ohio March 1825, married to James M. Evans, March 1849. To be sure I am anxious to learn the facts

about Major John White , what was his Regiment and where he enlisted. Could you tell me where to write for his enlistment and some information?
If I can establish my proofs you will readily see that I am entitled by these three lines of ancestry. But I have a more serious purpose in view - the compiling of a correct family history and Genealogy.
Now regarding my husband's family. His grandmother was a Miss Martha McCormick cousin of Alexander & Cyrus McCornick of Chicago Ills.

We have the McComick Genealogy & Family History compiled by the Chicago McComick. Here I learn that Hugh McComick was a soldier in the Revolutionary war of 1776 and endured many privations. He settled in 1756 in Fermanagh Township Pa. but was driven hence by Indians until 1788 he built a stone house for defence. He died in Ky. in 1798. Robert McComick, brother of Hugh, was a Revolutionary patriot, served in the Virginia line during the Carolina Campaign under General Nathaniel Greene, and was wounded at the battle of Guilford

Court House. While approaching the cover of a fence, a British officer cried out; Shoot that d - Rebel!"
This may be sufficient to prove the claims of my two daughters Cora and Martha Waddell. The latter named after her great-grandmother Mrs. Joseph Waddell, nee Martha McCornick.
Will you kindly advise me at your earliest convenience, of any further information you may obtain, or give my an investigation the right direction? I shall be sincerely grateful.
