Seeking any information about the individuals these records. I am hoping somebody might
establish relationships between these events:
Dec. 3, 1816
Stephen DEVENISH and Eliza RALSTON marry at the Baltimore City Station Methodist Episcopal
Church, Baltimore County, Maryland.
(Marriage Index: Maryland, 1655-1850,
Ancestry.com)
Is this the same Stephen Devenish?
DEVENISH, Stephen
State: IN Year: 1820
County: Jackson County Record Type: Federal Population Schedule
Township: No Township Listed Page: 263
Database: IN 1820 Federal Census Index
In the 1820 census, Stephen's family consists of one son under 10, one male 20-40
years, one female, 26-45 years and one female 45 or more years.
Washington County, Indiana Marriages:
MILAM, Harley H.
Spouse: DEVENISH, Eliza
Marriage Date: 24 Jul 1823
Could this woman be the widow of Stephen Devenish? And finally:
Eliza J. MILAM married William COLMAN in Fountain County, Indiana on 19 Oct 1854.
(Indiana Marriages from 1845-1920 on
Ancestry.com)
This final record seems a bit of a stretch, if it is the same woman.
