No they would not list parents names unless either was under age at the time of marriage. Then there would be a notation that she married with the permission of her father (or mother). Sometimes you can get a clue from who posted the marriage bond. Usually it was a relative of either the bride or the groom.

Yes, got the letter. I think that is the branch I am looking for. Amos L.
O'Neal married Mary Generose Geoghegan 30 Apr 1877 in Jefferson County. Then
they moved almost immediately to Tarrant County, TX where I found them in
1880. I have not found them since. There was a younger brother of John P.
on the 1860 Census for Jefferson County with the initials A L C O'Neal.
This child was listed as Lycurgus O'Neal in 1870.
Another mystery to solve. Generose was my husband's great grandfather's
baby sist
My great great grandmother and grandfather's certainly do as well as my great grandmother's and great grandfather's.

Does anyone have any information on the Mary O'Neal Family who lived next door to the William Shaw family in 1860 Union Church?
Mary had children:
John P.
Mary E.
Emmaline
Amos Lycurgus
Ann Allen Geoghegan
This was found by a Cousin today, Could this be our Ritty Willett?
Henrietta Willett mar. William Spiers 4 Apr 1821 Effingham, GA
Now this is the place and 1821 is an OK date.
Ritty could certainly have been a nickname for Henrietta,
Does anyone have any info on the above Family?
Thanks,

Ritty WILLETT, Granddaughter of James COOK & Margaret HAWTHORNE
named in Will of James COOK who died, 1812 in Jefferson Co., MS.
Her mother's name may have Mary COOK, father's name unknown.
James & Margaret (HAWTHORNE) COOK, were from Effingham Co., GA-
We do not know if Ritty WILLETT was still in GA or if she moved to MS with
her Grandparents.
If anyone has any info- it would be much appreciated.

I have just started a website at www.genealogyclassifieds.com and would like
to see if anyone wanted to list any old genealogy books or publications
here. Its free and hopefully someone may have a book or society magazine
someone else needs as well as putting some of the original cost you incurred
back into your own pocket for new genealogical books or publications
purchases.
FYI, I started this because there are a lot of out of print books I am
looking for and cant find anywhere to get them. Hopefully th
I forget exatly but there is an interesting will and I think it is this
woman--some guy died in civil war and left her estate--will look--maybe
mixed up--kate

Does anyone have any information on the Mary O'Neal Family who lived
next door to the William Shaw family in 1860 Union Church?
No Not usually--only if one or both of the spouses is underage. They
usually list a bondsman and this might be a parent, a friend, a sibling
etc of either of the bride or groom. There are no spaces on the court
records into which the marrying couple's parents are listed as a matter
of routine. Kate

Ann and everyone,
There are two book locater sites that are excellent. Just place the
name of the book in the search box and it will give you a list of
places with available copies. I'd been looking for Lumber River Scots
for years, too, and found it just a few months ago by entering it in
one of these sites. I've found several other hard-to-find books, as
well. The key is to do a search often, as hard-to-find books don't
last long when they become available.
