Notes for John L. & Sarah Jane (Family)
Morgan Co., Ky marriage records list the marriage on 17 Jan 1865 of John L. McClain and Sarah Jane Cock, by Joseph Nickell at his house, witnesses George Cock and Mary Cock.
This marriage apparently ended before 1870, in either divorce or John’s death, because by 1870 Sarah is recorded with her brother Reuben, under her maiden name.
