Mary Clementine HALLMARK md William STITES...
'Clemensy'[she didn't write, so her name is spelled differently on records] Hallmark Stites states that the marriage records [Sept 1857]were lost in fire at her residence, during war of 1861.We know she was married in Madison county, Ark...but had moved back to Granby, Newton county, Mo (1860Census). In 1862 they were in Douglas county, Ks.(William enlisted in KS Regt 12 Co E untill after, at least, the 1865 Ks State census.
I guess, what I am trying to ask is Has anyone stories of this "war, fire, etc" in the Granby area in 1861. I have read some on internet.Frances
