    2. [S1654] Harrison County Marriage Records, Clarksburg, WV.
      Marriage bond was filed on Jul 14 1846. Parties to the bond were John Peters (not John A. Peters, the groom) and "Elizabeth Lowther, my daughter." This brings into question whether Abethle's parents were the Robert Lowther & Nancy Lowrey commonly reported by researchers. Marriage ceremony was held Jul 16 1846.
