DICKERSON, JACOBS posted by James A. Stewart on Friday, September 19, 2003

I am researching the JACOBS Family of Northwest Fork Hundred, Sussex County, Delaware. Specifically I am trying to find background on "honorable" T. K. JACOBS "of Lima, Ohio" who married Mary C. DICKERSON Jacobs in 1881. He was her third husband and is said to have died in 1885. We suspect that there was a branch of the family that moved to Ohio in the early 1800's possibly led by a man named Hays JACOBS.

KETTEMEYER, STARK posted by Marilyn Ward on Saturday, October 4, 2003

Need marriage certificate information for Nicholas STARK and Mary KETTEMEYER who were probably married in about 1857. My hope is that the marriage certificate might show dates and places of birth for both Mary and Nicholas. The 1860 census shows that Nicholas and Mary lived in Spencer Twp, Allen Co., Ohio, along with Mary's father Jacob KETTEMEYER, and their children William and Louisa. Thanks for any help you can supply.
