affidavit-blank
Return- State of Ohio, Holmes County I Certify, that on the 22 day of October 1886 Silas McCartney and Nancy Terry were legally joined in marriage by me a Minister of the Gospel C.D. Patterson no. 5776
Silas and Nancy “Nannie” Terry McCartney are my second great grand-parents. While I was transcribing this I realized that in my record, I had the marriage date as the 20th of October. The source I have for this is a marriage record posted at FamilySearch.org.
In my best estimation the transcriber missed the fact that they didn’t get married on the same day that the liscense was issued. Many of the other licenses were filled on the same day of issue. This is one very good example that having more then one proof in most important.
I also find it interesting that they were married by a C.D. Patterson and that Silas’ grand-parents, Isaiah and Lettice Hudders McCartney, were married by a J.B. Patterson. I wonder if they might be related to each other. This just might be a fun side trip throught the records to see if they just might be kin.
While doing some research on the internet I came across this pdf file at the Holmes County Library Blog. Holmes County Library containing a transcription of the 1886 marriage returns for that county from A to Z.

Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. A. C. McCartney of Doylestown, and Mrs. John Pitz of Barberton; 13 grand-children; 30 great-grandchildren; gone [one] great-grandchild; three brothers, John of Holmesville, Finely of Wooster, and William of Millersburg.
Funeral services will be held Monday at 2:30 p.m. DST at the Monbarren funeral home in Doylestown.
Burial will be made in Chestnut Hill cemetery.
Friends may call Sunday afternoon and evening at the funeral home.
**********
Harry M. Cutter was born in the midst of the civil war in the year of 1863 in Wayne Co., Ohio. He was born to Samuel J. and Christina Stucker Cutter, Samuel lived on the land that his father settled in 1821. There is where Harry could have been born.
Harry took to wife Sarah Jane Starrett daughter of Charles B. and Sarah Sterling Cutter on the 25 of October 1883. Sarah went by her middle name Jane. I find her in the 1900 and 1910 census with Harry listed as Jennie.
Harry and Jennie had three children they are as follows:
John B. S. Cutter,came along in May of 1885 Wayne, Co., Ohio. John married Edith B., surname not known at this time.
Next to enter the family fold is a little girl named Christina S. and she was born in Homesville, Holmes Co., Ohio on 3rd of Oct in 1889. Christina would become my great-grandmother when she married Arthur C. McCartney of Holmes Co. Ohio on 4 Jul 1908 in Prairie Township, Summit County, Ohio.
The baby of the family is Lois H. who came calling about 1898. Lois married John Pitz about 1914. It is with Lois and John that we find Harry living with in 1930.
The Cutter name traces back to New England in the 1600’s and Starrett is either Irish or Scottish.
I found this obituary at Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center, there are many obituaries contained in this repository and they are adding more. Drop in and see what you can find! The actual copy came from the Wayne County Public Library Genealogy and Local History Department.

Friday Family History/ Enos McCartney (182yrs) 14 Oct 1829
Enos McCartney is the son of my fourth great-grandparents Isaiah and Lettice Hudders McCartney. Enos is the second youngest of twelve children. I believe he was born in Holmes CO., Ohio. His birthdate is 14 October 1829.
I received from the Holmes Co. Library a copy of a Common Pleas case that was between his brother Samuel (administrator of his father’s will) and his mother Lettice,it contains 11 of the 12 children of which he is one (stated that he was a minor) in the summons and proceedings. If I read the case right, there was outstanding debit that had to be paid so they needed to sell part of the farm land, and Lettice was petitioning for Dower rights. The proceeding occurred between 1850 and 1851. In the end I believe they sold about 10 acres. I am wondering what legal age was in the 1850’. If Enos was born in 1829 he would have been around 21. Yet he was listed as a minor in one of the documents.
