8 F Susannah Irvin 28

General Notes: Child - Owen Ervin
Presumed to be Samuel's son because Samuel is living with him in the 1860 census.
*New* Indenture contract found which lists Owen's father as Samuel.
General Notes: Child - Eliza Ervin
There is a Daniel Mecum, widower, living in Vinton, Vinton, Ohio in 1850, near Wm Pierce. Perhaps Eliza married him before marrying Jacob. Mecum doesn't appear in any census after that one, so if Eliza had been married to him, she would now be a widow and listing a married name on the marriage record.
