Hello Listers,
I am new to the list and would like some help with a possible Chafin
connection.
I recently documented my 3G grandmother as Julia Ann EVANS, daughter of
Talton Evans and Malinda MEADE. Julia Ann married Greenville RUNYON 3 Mar
1860 in Martin Co., KY. He may have died in the Civil War (internet info). I
believe she them married a Nathan CHAFIN, as his name is listed on my
GGgrandmother's marriage record. If anyone can see anything to connect to in
the following document info, please email me:
Minister Returns, book 1, page 121, Martin Co., KY:
"This is to certify that on the 27 day of March 1879 the rites of matrimony
were legaly (sic) solunmized by me between Richard Vermillion and Sarah
Runyon at Mayfield in the County of Martin in the presence of John Evans and
Nathan Chafin.
Signed John Haney, M.B.C."
On page 120
# 295
Date of License: March 25, 1879
Parties names: Richard Vermillion, Sarah Runyon
Authority: him being over 21yrs and certificate from her parents.
Sarah and Richard Vermillion are my GGgrandparents. I have no clue on my
Vermillion ancestry except a couple of tidbits gathered on census records.
None of these show a Richard as HOH. I have not been able to locate Richard
or Sarah with Effie in a census yet. I just documented Richard Vermillion's
name this past week. So would also appreciate Vermillion help if anyone is
familar with the name :o)
On Sarah's funeral home records, she is listed as having the following
children and siblings:
Effie Duncan (daughter, Effie Vermillion-used the name Duncan, my line)
Mrs. Minnie Greer (daughter, Minnie Duncan)
Mrs. Bessie Bishop (daughter, Bessie Duncan)
Sister & brothers:
Mrs. Charles Hinchman (? don't know who this is yet)
Miss Tex\Lex Chafin-Ohio (? don't know who this is yet)
J. W. Chafins-Wheeling (? don't know who this is yet)
Any info, tips, or leads you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
