Subject: RE: [CAMERON] Sarah Jane Cameron (1840 - 1927)
Marriage record from Fayette CO, IL 21 Feb 1859
Joseph W. Hallford and Sarah Jane Cameron, both by consent, married 21 Feb.
1859 by C.J. Houts, MG. L.F. Stoddard gave consent. She was his adopted
daughter. Book Old A p. 60, l. 21.
These notes in package: Ramsey, 21st 1859. "Mr. Welch, Dear Sir: the
bearer, Mr. Joseph Halford and my adopted daughter Sarah Jane Cameron, wish
to get a license. Miss Sarah was given to me by her guardian five or six
years ago. She is yet under age, and her guardian is some distance off,
though it will be all right anyway. Give him license to marry her, and I
will see that there is no trouble on her side. Yours truly, L.F. Stoddard."
"Mr. Stoddard, to let you __ that we are not aposed (sic) to his
marriage. John B Wilson." John B. Wilson was stepfather of Joseph w.
Halford. Wilson married Elizabeth Sears Halford, widow of Wm. Smith
Halford.
I have tried to connect Sarah Jane Cameron Halford to the Fayette County
Cameron families without success. L.F. Stoddard was a native of either New
Hampshire, or Vermont.
I do have information on the Sears family of Fayette Co. IL.
I would appreciate any information on Sarah Jane Cameron's parents.
