Marriage Record : David Sherick and Margaret Rosenberger, 1884, Seneca County, Ohio

"Ohio, County Marriages, 1789-2013," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XDLH-KF3 : accessed 9 August 2015), David Sherick and Margaret Rosenberger, 29 Apr 1884; citing Seneca, Ohio, United States, reference ; county courthouses, Ohio; FHL microfilm 388,639.
Located the marriage record of my paternal 3rd-great grandfather, David Sherick, to his 3rd wife, Mrs. Margaret (Zimmerman) Rosenberger.  Their marriage took place on April 29, 1884 in Seneca County, Ohio.  Prior to this find I did not have an exact date or location of their marriage in my database.

David was 58 years old and Margaret was 49 years old, both were widowers. Margaret's husband Anthony David Rosenberger had died October 27, 1879 and David's 2nd wife Amy Byers had died December 30, 1883.

Margaret was the daughter of Barney and Sarah (________) Zimmerman.  David was the son of  David and Eve (_________) Sherick.

David's occupation in the census records listed him alternatively as a farmer and a minister.

Shaky Leaves : Margaret (Zimmerman) Rosenberger Sherick (1835-1911)

Margaret (Zimmerman) Rosenberger Sherick (1835-1911) was the wife of my 3rd-great grandfather, David Sherick (1832-1914) on my paternal side.  Ancestry.com is currently showing 10 hints from historical records for her in my LeMaster & Allied Familes tree.


I have ignored the Ancestry Member Tree hints for now and will concentrate on the records.

There are a lot of records to update in my RootsMagic database, including the census records.

In the 1910 census of Pleasant Township, Seneca County, Ohio, Margaret was living with her husband David.  They owned their home free of mortgage, and had been married for 25 years.  One fact I hadn't noted before was that she was the mother of one child who was still living.

In the 1900 census of Pleasant Township, Seneca County, Ohio, Margaret was living with her husband David, a minister.  They owned their home, but the enumerator wrote that they had been married for 57 years!  There was also a servant boarding in the home, Sally Simmons, age 28 born in Ohio.

Another database was the Ohio, Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center Obituary Index, 1810-2013 where they listed the following:

Name:Margaret Sherrick
[Margaret Rosenberger] 
Death Date:1911
Spouse:David
Newspaper Information:Newspaper: Seneca Advertiser; Newspaper Date: 17 Apr 1911; Newspaper Page: 8 Column: 5; Repository: Tiffin Seneca Public Library - Tiffin, OH ; Years Available: 1842-1919
Newspaper Information:Newspaper: Seneca Advertiser; Newspaper Date: 17 Aug 1911; Newspaper Page: 8 Column: 5; Repository: Tiffin Seneca Public Library - Tiffin, OH ; Years Available: 1842-1919
Notes:1ST HUSBAND WAS DAVID ROSENBERGER
Library Link:Order Copy


Also was a link to Maggie's memorial at the FindAGrave site.  She is buried in the Fairmont Cemetery in Tiffin, Seneca County, Ohio at the grave site with her first husband, Anthony David Rosenberger.

Another database was Ohio, Marriages, 1800-1900 where I located the marriage date of Margaret's marriage to her first husband.


Name:Margaret Zimmerman
Gender:Female
Spouse:Anthony D. Rosenberger
Spouse Gender:Male
Marriage Date:20 Nov 1870
County:Seneca
State:Ohio
I still need to locate the marriage date between Margaret and my 3rd-great grandfather, David Sherick, but it must have happened after 1879, when her first husband died.

Add caption
In the 1860 census of Liberty Township, Seneca County, Ohio, Margaret was living in her father, Barney Zimmerman's household.  Her age was 24 and she was born in Maryland.

In the 1850 census of Liberty Township, Seneca County, Ohio, Margaret was living in her father, Barney Zimmerman's household.  Her age was 16 and she was born in Maryland and had attended school within the year.

One thing I found through these records was that the name of Margaret's mother was Sarah.  I've yet to find the name of her child with David Rosenberger.  I've updated my RootsMagic database.

If you are related or have any addition corrections or information, I would love to hear from you.

Marriage Records of Nina (Haley) Hanlin Zorn (1869-1963), Jay County, Indiana

Working on filling in some gaps in my database by utilizing the "Indiana Marriages, 1811-1959" database at Familysearch.org to see what updates and corrections I could find.

Nina Haley (1869-1963) was the daughter of George Washington and Mary Jane (Sherick) Haley.  Her marriage to Thomas Benton Hanlin on July 11, 1888 in Jay County, Indiana was found in the database.  Prior to locating this record, I did not have the exact date of their wedding, nor the names of his parents, John S. Hanlin and Martha Wilson.

"Indiana, Marriages, 1811-1959," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V6RG-H6C : accessed 09 Sep 2013), Wm B Hanlin and Ninnia Haley, 1888.
Nina's second marriage, after Thomas' death, was June 15, 1901 in Jay County, Indiana to George Zorn.  A copy of their marriage certificate was also found in the database.

Nina was my paternal great-grandaunt.  An exploratory analysis of the biographical data I have discovered about her is found here.

Fort Recovery O.

Dated at Fort Recovery this 20th day of February 1904.

This record of the marriage of Franklin Oliver Bittikofer and Ora Amanda Haley was located at the Jay County Historical Society in Portland, Indiana.

Ora was my paternal great-grandaunt, the daughter of George Washington Haley and Mary Jane Sherick.  The return listed her birthplace as Fort Recovery, Ohio, while I had shown it as Jay County, Indiana in my database.  The Haley's were living in Seneca County, Ohio at the 1880 census, so they may have stopped in Fort Recovery before moving to Jay County.

The Frank Haley who witnessed the marriage was likely the bride's older brother.
