I'm sure this won't help you much, but I have a George Harrison Trout who
married a Mary Jane Gurley, (Born Jan. 1876) they were married in Pope
Co. Nov. 3, 1892. Her father was william Gurley, and he wasn't living.
Her mother was Nancy A. Gil?????. (info. from marrage lic.) ( A marriage
consent calls her Mary A. Gurley) they were married in the home of W. H.
Gurley.
