REYNOLDS, SMITH posted by Laura Melton on Friday, June 2, 2000

I am looking for a marriage record for George M. Smith and Nellie Reynolds. I was told they were married in Broken Bow, Nebraska but when I called they were unable to find any such record. Is there a volunteer who could check to see if there is such a marriage record for these two people? They were married June 6, 1888 in Broken Bow, Nebraska. I need to purchase a copy of this and just not sure where to find it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

ADKINS, ALLEN, BISHOP, CADY, HASTINGS, SKEELS posted by Maureen Brook on Thursday, June 8, 2000

se families. I have George Bishop that was first in Pickaway County, Ohio. George Bishop was born on December 13, 1823 at Pickaway County,(near Sandusky?) Ohio. When a boy he moved with his parents to Lafayette, Indiana, where: "Bishop, George - Service: Mexican War, Private, 5th Regiment, Company C, Fountain County. Mustered in 11 Oct 1847, at Madison, Indiana, by Lieutenant Rodman, mustered out 28 Jul 1848, at Madison, Indiana, by Major H. A. Goff. Source is Indiana in the Mexican War, Oran Perry, 1908. Then George Bishop married Rachel Skeels (her second marriage; 3 Dec 1849 in Putnam Co., IN). Rachel had a son Truman Skeels who was 10 yrs in the 1850 Iroquois Co., IL census. I have heard from others her maiden name was BROCK. Rachel was dead by 1860. They had a son, Charles who was born in 1858 who I'd like to know more about. Does anyone know anything about this couple? George married Mary Esabella Cady in Iroquois County, ILL. I have their marriage date as January 13, 1959. According to his obituary, the couple left Illinois and ended up in Custer County, NE. This is what it says: They moved to Iroquois County, Illinois, where he enlisted in the Civil War in August, 1862, in Company D, Vol. Inf. 113th Regt., and was discharged on June 20, 1865 at Memphis, Tennessee. In 1880, they (George, Mary and family) came from Illinois to Broken Bow, Nebraska, where he long has farmed. The obituary says nothing of Truman Skeels. It lists son of Rachel and George, Charles, living in Colwich(?), Kansas. I'd like to find living family from these lines. Daughter of George and Mary Bishop was my line, Nora Ida Bishop Hastings. Daughter of John and Nora Hastings, Mary Hastings married Wyatt Jesse Adkins. I am looking for anyone in these families. Any help, guidance or advice would be appreciated. Have a great day.
