My name is Mike Groshong. I am descended from John T. Van Orman's sister, Jane who married Jonathan Mack.

On the internet I found T. Wayne Harris' site that John T. Van Orman married Nellie Mack 10 Aug 1814. I am interested in the origin of that citation. Where was it located? Where did the marriage occur? I wrote Wayne and he did not have additional imformation.

I am attempting to connect Nellie with Zebulon Mack or Benjamin Mack who were my Jonathan Mack's uncles. Jonathan's parents were Gurdon Mack and Asenath Palmer.

I have an 1836 court document dividing estate of Zebulon among his heirs; he died interstate so many are listed. Among them are John T Van Orman and son, Marvin. In a 1841 document among Zebulon's heirs, a Lucy Mack, daughter of Benjamin Mack, brother of Zebulon, dec; and wife of John T Van Orman is listed. Children, James Riley and Densey Young are also listed, .

So, I am hoping someone has source-documentation about Nellie's marriage as well as any additional data. I know that John T remarried, and I am guessing here, after the birth of the third child as only they are listed among Zebulon's heirs.

The listed marriage date for Nellie Mack and John T van Orman fits nicely with suspected birthdates of three children. The issue now is Nellie and Lucy the same person or cousins or siblings and did they marry the same man?

Thank-you
