I have a marriage record:
Stephen D. MESSER m. Catherine E. PARROT 18 Jun 1871 Knox Co., KY
Could that be?:
Stephen MESSER who married Rebecca WOOLUM abt 1842?

In my database I find record of Stephen Dillard Messer who married Rebecca
Woolum. This S.D. Messer died between 1860-1870. They had a son who was also
named Stephen Dillard Messer, b. December 1851. He married Rebecca Swanson
(b. 1868) m. August 19, 1887, I do not have record of this S.D.'s death,
however I do have a list of their children and their birthdates which I will
give below. Also, note that his wife Rebecca Swanson lived until 1963 and I
have been in contact with a descendant of theirs who remembers talking with
Rebecca in the 1950's.

Stephen Dillard Messer m. Rebecca Woolum = Rebecca is the sister of my
maternal great-great grandfather Jacob Woolum and the daughter of Andrew
Woolum and Ursula Woodard. Also Stephen and Rebecca are the parents of my
paternal great grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Messer who married Samuel E.
Napier.
