 Marriage Notes:
Although one researcher claims a marriage record exists in the database"Illinois Marriage Records, 1815-1900", no source or location of the database is given nor can it be located. Searches on all other known marriage databases fail to locate any such marriage record.
But the 1880 US Census shows Omri living with his 4 sons and Catharine Gillfillian who was listed as a sister-in-law, thus indicating that Omri must have been married to Mary Ann Gillfillian. Omri's marital status was marked as widowed so clearly his sister-in-law was living in the household to help raise the children.
Within six months of the 1880 US Census, Omri would end up being married to Catharine Gillfillian on 27 Jan 1881 in nearby Mason County, Illinois.
