Hi
So glad to hear from you.
I have a little more, but not much on the Venables since my "big" post.
I've been focusing on my direct line which starting with my grandfather is:
Ralph Edgar Venable
John William Venable
Martin C Venable (male, b. Feb 1840)
John Venable, Jr m. Mary Cochran
Martin C Venable (the man) married Mary E. Wetzel. Your Sarah Venable Houpt and this
Martin (the man) would be siblings. I am missing lots of info about Mary Wetzel. What I
do about her is impressive. Martin (the man) wasn't nice to his family and she left
him and her children. That was quite a decision in the early 1900's. I am unable to
find records on her after 1902. Martin is listed as a widower in the 1910 Census. If you
have anything on this couple, I'd love it!
I have also been trying to complete descendancy trees. One of them that is lacking is the
line of Martin Venable (the girl). I am also missing marriages and descendants of John
W., Deborah, Thomas J., Richard, and Louisa Venable: all of whom would be siblings to
Sarah & Martin (the man). For your line I have Sarah's children Jeff and Bill,
and that's it. Any info to continue these lines would be great, too.
Are you sure that Julia and Lou were the same person? My info doesn't support that.
I have that Julia and Louisa were sisters. But it's not research that I did myself.
So, I'd have to check it.
Please let me know how I can advance your research! And thanks again for writing!
