Asenath Yarnall, First Wife of Jeptha4 Hollingsworth
Continued

    Our issue of September, 1988 pp. 46-48, deals with tbe later history
in Garrard County, Kentucky, paying tax from 1797 through 1808.  Stewart 
at page 110 states that Jephtha died in 1816, but gives no indication of
the place. His son, Jephtha (or Jeptha), Jr., is known to have lived in 
Logan County, Kentucky in 1813, but died in Leavenworth County, Kansas, 
in 1870.  So far, other research projects have kept me from coverage of 
more Logan County, Kentucky records, where Jeptha, Sr. may have died. A 
perusal of printed material on Logan County has turned up nothing! The 
Order Books have been "ordered" from Salt Lake. There may be some help 
in them.

Massachusetts Hollingsworth Marriages, 1871 to 1875

Your editor gathered these gems covering every marriage in this short
group of years, in 1988. We have the indexes covering a much wider 
period, but only the name of the one party is listed, ala English and 
Irish marriage indexes.  You cannot know the name of the second party 
unless you send for the film of that volume. The Mormons have the ac-
tual books up to a certain cutoff date.  They are not at the branches.
These are one-liners but give parentage, a miracle for that time.
