I have the Bible marriage certificate of George Gurney and Margaret Hillsinger both of South Rondout NY 2/12/1873. It is signed by a Methodist minister from Port Ewen (??)
Then, on the next page George Gurney marries Mary Delamater on 1/31/1883. Margaret Hillsinger or Margaret A. (Hillsinger) Gurney died on 4/5/1881 (no reason given) age 28.
The listed children are: In blue ink John H. 11/7/1873 (that is a nice nine months from the wedding night yikes)
James Gurney 8/23/1875
Josiah H. gurney 4/8/1877
Jennie gurney 5/21/1878/ d.7/21/1879
Daisey Gurney 6/19/1880 Then came the death of mother Margaret 4/5/1881.
The next group of kids ARE Mary's in black ink as follows:
Alfred H. Gurney (my great uncle al who was a great letter writer b. 8/22/1884
William Arthur Gurney 9/30/1891 (my grandfather)
his twin Martha Julia Gurney b. 9/30/1891 d.10/31/1891
Last child Robert Wilbur Gurney b. 9/29/1893 and died 11/18/1893
So if that Mary Gurney is this Mary Gurney she did have kids or I wouldn't be here!! She died at about age 96 in New London about 25 years after George. James and Josiah died as older adults. John drowned in a controversial boat accident and Daisey married someone named Green(E?) and had three daughters that I cannot track down any further. What branch are you from?
