Mary Mahala Brown Athens co Ohio
I am researching my husband's Family Tree. (Nelson)His great- great grandparents were George Nelson and Mary Mahala Brown.They were married on 2/23/1879 in Athens co Ohio.I have a copy of their marriage license, it says that the groom is at least 21 and the bride at least 18, but the person giving permission for the bride to marry is a JOHN GIBSON.We can find no record of a John Gibson anywhere.They are from the Logan, Nelsonville and Athens Ohio area.does anyone have any info on these two that will help us figure out who John Gibson was.
Mary Mahala is listed mostly as Mahala Brown, rarely did she go by Mary.Thanks so much,Karla Green
