--------I also missed this one sent 1-6-00; sorry----------

Hello
Can anyone help with David Counterman. There seems to be more than one
David Counterman. I have no dates to confirm which one I am seeking. He
married Emily (Wical) Stewart in 1884, Mercer Co. They divorced in 1916, so
presume this David was still living. Emily was b. 1842, so would guess
David was around the same age. According to Civil War documents I received
today, they had not lived together for nine years. Emily's first husband
William Stewart d. in 1867. She claims she had not remarried until she
married David Counterman, but at the same time she had two daughters , Icy
Stewart b. 1877 who married James D Spicer, and Gertrude Stewart b. 1881,
who married John Tyndall. Something just does not add up. Can anyone help
with this mystery.
Thanks
Sue Kramer
