You're right, Andrea, I misspoke. It was the Health Department I called.
We get those papers from the County Clerk and Recorder here and I forgot
it's different there.
Rex, I was thinking I'd need to look at the actual book to make sure the
next record was Clevenger and a page was skipped. The Health Department did
send me a handwritten info sheet of John Chandler's death record years ago
and it showed no parents for John, which was why I decided to check with
them again after I saw the posting with his parents on it. I certainly wish
it was correct but am pretty certain it's wrong. I got excited right away
and sent out inquiries about Sarah Mullin and got a message back from Rita
Elkin and she was talking about her ancestors, Andrew Clevenger and Sarah
Mullin, and that's when I figured out what might have happened regarding the
transcription.
Thanks for your advice!
