Notes:
*From Carl Ingwalson, April 2011: "Regarding the license issued 01/24/1859 to James Bethard and Catherine F. Rice. The bride's name is Carolyn Frankeberger Rice.  Her father was Joel S. Rice (the record shows G.S. Rice). Carolyn and her brothers had emigrated with their parents, Joel S. & Sarah (Marshall) Rice from Union County, Ohio.   James Bethard, also from Union County, emigrated by himself after the death of his mother.  They rented a farm on Roberts Creek.  Six men (surnames Bethard, Rice, Mather, Farrand, Pool and Shuck), calling themselves the "Roberts Creek Crowd," enlisted in the same regiment during the Civil War.  Three survived the war; three did not.  Interested researchers can find Carl's email address in the surname registry for Bethard.
