bullet Marriage Notes:

Although Israel and Hannah were married in 1847 in Richland County, Ohio, they were soon relocated to Noble County, Indiana. Their first son, George, was born there in 1850. What is unknown is the birth location for their first child, Mary, who was born in 1848. She could have been born in either Ohio or Indiana and the records concerning her are very scare.
