SPRAGGINS, McNEELY, SCOTT & HEDGE
I am trying to determine the date of death for Paradine McNEELY who married George W. HEDGE on November 22, 1900 in Gibson County, Indiana. All I have is the marriage certificate. This is Paradine's 3rd marriage. She was born in 1857 to Joshua SCOTT and Mary SMITH in Pike County, Indiana.
Her first marriage was to Marquis D.L. SPRAGGINS on August 9, 1874 in Gibson County, Indiana. They had a son, Lafayette who was born 1878 in Indiana. Lafayette was listed in the 1880 census with Paradine and her second husband, John T. McNEELY as Lafayette McNeely, age 2. However, in 1900 - shortly before her marriage to George W. HEDGE - Paradine is living with some of her children: Stella (listed as Estella VIERLING), Lafayette SPRAGGINS and William McNEELY (born in 1899). William is often added to his father's third marriage to ALice HEACOCK but is in fact Paradine's son - another document, his wedding certificate, lists Paradine SCOTT as his mother and John McNEELY as his father. Incidently, Paradine's marriage to John McNEELy occurred on June 10, 1880 in Pike County, Indiana.
Finding Paradine's date of death will help - but I would enjoy conversing/sharing with anybody researching this family line. Thanks
