Keeping in mind that Census records are notoriously wrong in ages......

Rachel Jonah d/o Martin Jonah and Sophia Lutz (Have also seen it spelt Lutes) was married three times.

1. William Ogden b. 1793 d. April 1, 1828 (s/o John Ogden & Nancy Fawcett)

2. Duncan Campbell - 17 Dec 1829

3. Moses Greeno

I know this is an old post - but I am just now trying to figure out the marriages of Rachel Jonah, d/o Martin Jonah and Sophia Lutz. Do you have any evidence that these 3 marriages are all the same Rachel?

There was also a Moses Greeno who married Barbara Lutz (Nov 6 1823) Barbara was Rachel's aunt, Do you think it was the same Moses Greeno?

Any one know anything about Barbara Lutz? I have found no records for this couple

It has been years since I looked up the info but I know that Moses Greeno lived in Nova Scotia. I believe he and Rachel had a son. Not 100 % sure about Rachel's marriage to Greeno but I did find something in the NS vital statistics years ago.

I am trying to prove or disprove that Rachel had three children by her first husband, Wm. Ogden. I have been trying to connect Milledge Ogden to James Priestly Ogden and James' sister Charity Ogden. Have not found parents for either of them and William is the only son of John Ogden that I cannot find children for.

Based on the 1881 census I believe that William Ogden s/o John Ogden & Nancy Ogden m. a Rachel Jonah but this Rachel was born in 1794 so therefore she is not the same Rachel Jonah that married Duncan Campbell and Moses Greeno.

I found a Duncan Campbell in "Find a Grave" that died at 51:

Birth: unknown
Death: May 2, 1847
Age 51 yrs at time of death.
Burial: Second Falls United Baptist Cemetery
Second Falls
Charlotte County
New Brunswick, Canada

I also found a Duncan Campbell s/o of the above Duncan. I suspect these are the late son and husband of Rachel Jonah who married both Duncan Campbell and Moses Greeno but nothing concrete.

Birth: unknown
Death: Aug. 18, 1850
Age 12 yrs at time of death.
Burial: Second Falls United Baptist Cemetery
Second Falls
Charlotte County
New Brunswick, Canada

Hope this is helpful.

Here is how I see it.
Rachel Jonah married William Ogden Jan 3 1822
- there is a death of a William Ogden April 1 1828
After he died she married Duncan Campbell - Dec 17, 1829

After he died she married Moses Greeno - date unknown but before son William was born in 1849 at Campobello. Later they lived in Kempt Nova Scotia where there seems to be a number of Greeno families. She and William are in the 1871 and 1881 census there

marriage record of William Ogden and Rachel Jonia

Name: William Ogden
Spouse's Name: Rachel Jonia
Event Date: 03 Jan 1822
Event Place: Westmorland,New Brunswick
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: M54164-1 , System Origin: New_Brunswick-ODM , GS Film number: 847576

William Ogden Find A Grave Index

Name: William Ogden
Event Type: Burial
Event Date: 1828
Event Place: Middle Sackville, Westmorland County, New Brunswick, Canada
Death Date: 01 Apr 1828
Affiliate Record Identifier: 131142419
Cemetery: Methodist Burying Ground
On the grave is says "son of John"

If this William died in 1828 he is not the same one in the 1881 census you refer to. What place is that census for?

By the way, one of Rachel's cousins also married an Ogden from Sackville area

As for the Duncan Campbell you have from Charlotte Co. I would doubt it is the same one since Charlotte is in the far opposite corner (NW) of NB from Westmoreland/ and Albert. I have found that most often, people from this area tend to go either to Nova Scotia or to Massachusetts or Maine., since at that time there were few if any railways and most transportation was by ship. However it is definitely worth looking into this Duncan Campbell.

Thanks for the info and keep in touch if you discover any info - we need all the help we can get in this game!
