I have been trying to sort out the wife (wives) of George Washington Creed, son of Colby Creed and Susannah Sarah Lawrence.While a consensus of researchers seem to have George married to Elizabeth "Betsy" Harvey with children coming along beginning in 1824, there is a marriage license for George Washington Creed and Eliza Miller dated 1834 in the Calloway, Missouri records.The marriage date of 1834 has gotten into a number of family trees under Betsy's name creating a tangle of confusion.My hope was to find another George Washington Creed.Yours is the first that I have found.
Would a marriage date of 1834 to Eliza Miller fit with your George Washington?Elizabeth Harvey lives until 1880 and is shown keeping house for George in Illinois.There is no Eliza in any of his census records.
