In a message dated 21 October, Mel Srader writes that Sophia was only 12 when she married Joseph Srader. Does anyone know where he found that? Are there marriage records, Bible, census data to confirm. Does anyone know the location of that marriage?
David Rickabaugh lived in Springfield, Ohio when Sophie was born. He is found on the Ohio, Jackson County, Washington Township Census in 1850, where his daughter "Sophiah" (sic) is listed as age 9. David left Ohio before the Civil War, wintering in Sidney, Iowa before moving on to Sheridan, Mo.
