Thomas Gowenlock |
Emma M. Allen |
January 17, 1876 |
Jefferson County, Illinois |
Jefferson County Marriages, Vol. 6, p.39. Thomas Gowenlock is listed in the probate records for Jarvis Pierce as the husband of Drusilla C. Allen, grandchild of Jarvis Pierce. No marriage record could be found between Drusilla and Thomas Gowenlock. A marriage record was found for Thomas Gowenlock and Emma M. Allen, Drusilla's sister [Jefferson County Marriages, Vol. 6, p.39, January 17, 1876]. A marriage license for Druzilla E. Allen and Homer Thomas was issued September 15, 1870 [Jefferson County Marriages, Vol. 3, License #151]. These can be found in FHC Microfilms 1,004,738 and 1,004,739. Emma would have been 14 in 1870 but Drusilla would have been about 19. In 1876, Emma would have been 20. It is more likely that the marriage records are correct and the probate records have the names confused. One would need to pore through the probate records to look for other references or signatures. After Jarvis died, many notices were sent to the descendants and they are all in the probate packet. |
