I believe that Harvey S Veon may have married Lydia Halpert in Portage County on 29 Jan 1867. Divorced her sometime within a three year period and married Maria Beckley 9 Nov 1870 in Summit County, Ohio. Maria Beckley could possibly be Maria Cowley because a Maria Cowley married Edwin Beckley on 24 April 1858. I think it's possible that Edwin and Maria divorced and that she married Harvey S Veon in 1870 which would agree with the 1900 Federal Census showing that Harvey and Maria had been married 30 years.
Anyone have any thoughts about the above information or should I say my "hypothesis"?
Harry, have you found any other information re: Harvey S Veon since your April 17, 2002 posting?
