Subject: [Q-R] Marriage of Isaac Clendenon and Hannah (Worrall)
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2003 08:22:58 -0800


One of the agonizingly frustrating "Gene Pool" databases on Ancestry.com
gives a marriage date of 12 December 1792 for Isaac Clendenon and Hannah
Worrall (West, Edmund, comp., "Gene Pool Individual
Records--Marriages"), but A.com frankly declares in its description of
those databases that the sources of the information was not
preserved--merely 'salvaged', so to speak. In any case, the date is not
given in Quaker style, and should be filtered by the confusion rampant
about Quaker dates (was it 10th mo.? 12th mo.? is it October? December?
even February?).

This date corresponds well with the birthdate of their first child,
Elizabeth, of 19 10th mo. 1793 (Hinshaw, v. 4: Ohio; Stillwater Monthly
Meeting, Belmont County, p. 379). Perphaps here is a clue that can be
used to locate a civil record of their marriage.
