Hi Dana,

I am looking for a marriage record for my great grandparents, married, I
beleive, in Virginia City, 21 Oct 1883. ggrndfather was Jeremiah Parsons
Eaton, married Anna McDonald(possibly Kennedy). Can anyone tell me where I
might find this in Storey County? Newpaper records? Any other records? Is
anyone doing look-ups?
And it was posted on the NVSTOREY mail list.
I am curious as to Jeremiah's background. Do you know where his middle
name came from? Do you know where his family is from? I have a PARSONS
descendant who ended up in Virginia City about the same time as your
Jeremiah. Her name was Deborah Alice TARRH although I believe she went by
the first name of Paloma during her stay in Virginia City. Her mother was
a PARSONS, and she was raised by her maternal family after she was orphaned
at the age of six. The PARSONS family is from Holmes and Coshocton
counties in Ohio.
Also, would you mind letting me know if there are any newspaper accounts
from that time period (1870-1880's), if anyone lets you know about them?
Thank you.
Liz JAY Davis
