    4. [S282] E-Mail from June Carroll.
      I recently contacted a person on "Find a Grave" that is in the line of Louisa Belle (Lenon) Gibbens. She doesn't have a source for the marriage date for Belle and George William but says the date she has is October 30 1888 and the place, Marion County, Oregon. She also spelled Louisa's maiden name as Lenon. I had Lennon in my records. I don't know rather the first name is Louisa or Louise as the census always gave "Belle". till later, June
