I'm not positive that James Luther Priest and Harriet Fowler are the parents of
Jeremiah Priest 1814. However, I am certain that Jeremiah Priest 1814 married Hannah
Helvie in February 26, 1835 in Clark County Ohio.
Many researchers (at least on
Ancestry.com) confuse Jeremiah Priest 1814 with Jeremiah
Priest b. 1802 (son of Jeremiah Priest b. 1755 -- Rev. War soldier) Jeremiah 1802 married
Sarah Carmin June 21, 1821 in Clark County Ohio. Since Jeremiah Priest 1814 married
Hannah Helvie in 1835 in the same county many researchers say it is a second marriage for
Jeremiah 1802. I disagree with that believe since the will of Benjamin Carmin d. May 29,
2840, father of Sarah, lists his daughter Sarah as a widow of Jeremiah Priest.
The second point of proof is that Hannah Helvie was born in 1814 the same as Jeremiah
Priest 1814 and in the 1860, 1870, and 1880 census have Jeremiah and Hannah both born in
1814 in Delaware Co. IN.
However, I'm still trying to found the proof of parentage for Jeremiah Priest 1814.
If anyone can be of assistance to me I would greatly appreciate it. I believe James
Luther Priest and Harriet Fowler are his parents but I don't have definite proof.
