Notes

Several months ago Joseph Romeo posted some names of interest that he
found in an index of Washtenaw County Marriages between 1833-1934. I
ordered films which cover volumes 2 through 7 marriages between
1851-1900. Last night I took a look at volumes 5-7 and transcribed the
following records that Joseph had brought to our attention:

Notes

Notes: Marriages are in alphabetical order by the grooms last name,
then separated into volumes. At the end of each volume is an
alphabetical index by brides last name of the brides found in that
volume. Note that I only ordered one of the three microfilms and did
not review any footnotes or prefaces that may be included in the first
or third microfilm of the set.

Searched and transcribed: All Perkins males, all Perkins females who
married men with the last names falling within the range of
Kaeckle-Thurlby. I searched but did not find any female Durhams on the
volumes that I ordered.

Source LDS Film 1019066 marriage index 1833-1934 excerpt.
Washtenaw County (Michigan). County Clerk
Record Number 5-135 (1873)
Full Name of Groom Drigget William
Full Name of Bride Simons Sarah C.
Record excerpted by Joseph Romeo 5 Nov 1999
Comments

Sarah should be the daughter of Robert Simons, which is inferred from
there being Driggett heirs of the Robert Simons estate. In 1870, Sarah
Simons, age 15, is a domestic servant residing in the household next door to
Robert Simons.

The 1880 census reference supports this identification:

Huron Twp., Page No. 11, 10 & 11 June 1880:

Driget William, Mu, M, 35, M, Farmer, Del, Del, Del
Sarah, Mu, F, 24, M, Keeping House, Del, Del, Del
James, Mu, M, 4, S, Mich
Minis, Mu, M, 3, Mich
George W, 3/12, S, Mich
Helen, 5, S, Mich

William Drigget is apparently deceased by 1885, when two Driggett children
are listed in the death register (the above James and a Sarah J who does not
fit in given her age); the father is listed only as "deceased" and the mother
as Sarah J Driggett. But I found no death record for William between 1880
and 1885.

Notes I have the Washtenaw Co., Michigan, marriage index, 1833-1934. This is a
typed-index, sorted by the first two letters of the last name and then by
year. Each listing in the index gives a name and volume/page number, but not
