My great grandmother, Viola A. Pettit, had three marriages. As near as I can figure she was married 1st: John Cheyne, 2nd: Adin Fellows about 1870 and 3rd: John Leathorn about 1894/5 as I found them listed in 1900 Pt. Huron Twp Census listing Viola @age 43, b.Feb1857, married 5y & wife of John Leathorn with dau. Velma Leathorn, age 1, bMay1899 in MI and son, Jay Fellows b.Mar1886 in Nebraska.
I have not been successful in finding any marriage records but figure they married in Sarnia or London, Ontario (Canada). One daughter, Mary Ellen lists her parents as John Cheyne & Viola Fellows when she married William Henry Woodyatt on 4Oct1894 .
I found death record on Viola A. Leathorn which lists her parents as John Pettit and Adelia (no maiden name listed). She died @age 72 on 7June1938 in Port Huron, MI and is buried in Lakeside Cemetery.
I would like to find out more about all of the above. If you have any info please email me at: Eveis(a)prodigy.net I would appreciate your help. Thank you!
I am looking for information on Viola A. Fellows who married a John Cheyne. I came across a marriage record of Viola's daughter: Mary Ellen Fellows who married William Henry Woodyatt on 4Oct1894 in St. James Manse in London, Ontario, Canada. Mary Ellen lists her parents as: John Cheyne and Viola Fellows. I always thought Mary Ellen's parents were: Adin Fellows and Viola (Pettit) as listed on her death record but Viola's maiden name (I believe) was mis-spelled. It was listed as Pettock.
I have been trying to locate a marriage certificate of John Cheyne & Viola Fellows.I have no idea as to the date of their marriage and have estimated Adin & Viola's marriage about 1870.
If anyone has any information please contact Eveis(a)prodigy.net Thank you!
