  • Notes: 

  • Transcribed marriage records from Jefferson County, Ohio, give both 17 and 18 MAY 1823 as the marriage date for Eli McFeely and Elizabeth Ward, however when you look at the original image on FHL Film #000900072, "twenty first day of May (1821)" is what the actual entry says. However, this entry is located on a page with 1823 marriages which may have been a partial cause of the confusion.
