Marriage Record for Samuel Ervin in Meigs county, Ohio
Posted on 10. Nov, 2012 by Kathie

I just ran across this marriage record for Samuel Ervin and a Mrs. Obedience Thomas in Salem, Meigs, Ohio on 13 July 1833. I think this must be Samuel Ervin Sr., as Samuel Ervin Jr had just married Nancy Pewthers on 27 June 1833 in Athens county and is still married to her in the 1850 census. The Samuel Irwin that lived in Scipio, Meigs, Ohio was married to Ruth Douglas on 16 Apr 1829 and is still married to her in the 1850 census. Is it possible that Mrs. Obedience Thomas was the "Jane" we see living with Samuel Sr. in the 1850 census? If so, she would not be Owen's mother.

Hi Kathie,Wow - I'm pretty
Hi Kathie,
Wow - I'm pretty sure I do not have a record of this particular marriage. But, I'm not sure what to think of it quite yet. We have a death record in 1879 for a Jane Ervin of Clinton Twp., Vinton County. In this record it states that Jane is a widow; Samuel died in 1864, so it fits Samuel's Jane. If you remember Jane was last living with her daughter Sarah in Clinton Twp., Vinton County, at least according to the 1870 census.
Another initial thought is that while we know Samuel had roots in Meigs County, in 1830 he was in Hocking County and in 1840 he was in Athens County. That's not to say he couldn't have traveled back to Meigs to get married, just something to keep in mind.
Anyway, this is a great find and definitely warrants more research to try and find out who this Obedience Thomas is, where she came from (KY?) and if this Samuel Ervin is the correct one.

Jane her middle name?
If my name were Obedience Jane, I might go by Jane. But I have looked for marriages of any Obedience or Jane to any Mr. Thomas and haven't found one as yet. I just can't see any other Samuel Ervin/Erwin/Irvin/Irwin around at the time though, other than our Sam Sr.
I mostly agree with you. I
I mostly agree with you. I spent the majority of my day yesterday looking through old records, reviewing all of our known Samuels and their wives.
The only thing that I still get hung up on is the fact that beginning with the 1820 census - before that marriage took place - up until Samuel and Jane move in with their children in 1860, there was a female in his household that has always matched Jane's birth date and/or the span between Samuel and Jane's age. Assuming this is the same woman, it would indicate that there was a marriage before 1820 and that it lasted until their separation into their children's homes. If this is the case, then she could be Owen's mother.
