Look up for a Pleasant Stark in Washington County, Indiana please. Searching for a
document that would contain the name of the stepfather that signed permission
We have been given the information that his stepfather signed consent for Pleasant Stark
to marry Sarah Toney.
The information on marriag:

We are trying to find out who his father was, and if we find the name of the stepfather
that may indeed give us the answer. He has been confused with, 1. Jacob Stark, 2. Rueben
Stark.
If possible would like to find a document that gives the name of the stepfather, or even
if this is wrong info. then the father that would have given consent. Pleasant Stark born
Dec. 1, 1812 in Ky. could be middle initial A.
While I am asking for a piece of the moon to be found a scanned copy of the document would
be nice too. I know sometimees ask to much of a person willing to volunteer is not truly
nice...but we in genealogy do request a lot...and we that are involved do a lot so we may
be paying it forward.
Thanks for the time to check on this/and or the copy. You may e-mail me directly at
young.judith(a)sbcglobal.net. I belong to many surname boards, but not to this Washington
Cty. board. or post and I will be notified of an answer.
As with all information gathered sometimes we get wrong information from several sources
so the year of marriage could really be plus or minus...and the birth of Pleasant the
same.
Pleasant Stark moved to MO. and had a family of 6 known children that was born in Indiana.
