Subject: [OHDEFIAN-L] Moyer marriage
Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2000 16:34:09 -0600



Would like to find additional information on the marriage of Refina
(Ruffina) Moyer and James Davis.

The marriage took place on July 31, 1883 in Defiance Co., Ohio. Ruffina
would have been 21 years of age at this time.
Would marriage records have given her birthplace? Her parents were Daniel
and Mary Ann Ranes Moyer. Three of her siblings were born in Allen County
(William, Elizabeth, Sarah Jane). I am trying to locate Samuel ( another
brother) and Ruffina's birthplaces.

Did James and Ruffina live in Defiance County? Were there children?

I also have a marriage for Ruffina listed as taking place September 1, 1891
to E. K. Burnett, but taking place in Henry County, Ohio. This marriage is a
matter of court record.

Was she actually married twice? If so, what happened to James Davis?


Thank you.

Sue Chism
