Message Board Post:
I am looking for John Bord and his wife Melissa J. (Brown) Bord, who married in Wells
County 25 Feb. 1883. Melissa (Malissa) was born about 1858 in Rock Creek Township,
daughter of Thomas Brown and Lydia Sparks. She has died by the time of her mother's
death in 1901.
I have searched the 1880 census records for a John Bord, even using Soundex; but no likely
candidate appears in the Wells Co. vicinity. He just seems to pop into Wells County to
marry Melissa. And what became of John and Melissa? I have no clues. Does anyone
recognize this John Bord? Any clue might lead me to Melissa's date of death and
burial place.
