Mary WALLER,daughter of William WALLER (1757-1832), married a man with
the surname SEVERNS, SOVERNS, or SOVEREIGNS, and had a son John born
January 1, 1812 in what is now Preston County, WV. I have seen
speculation that
the father's name was John or Joseph, but I'm not interested in
speculation. I want documentation of the father's name, the date and
location  of the the marriage, and the names of the father's parents.

Dear buckeye 68,

What kind of documentation would you consider a valid answer?

For the husband's identification/marriage record I would expect to see
a legally marriage record or a church record for a Mary WALLER and a
SEVERNS/SOVERNS/SOVEREIGNS in the Berkeley/Monongalia County VA area
some time in the 1790-1811 period. Another possibility would be a
documented birth or baptismal record for John from 1812 identifying
his father. For the names of the parents of the father, as I am
already familiar with the names of the several
SEVERNS/SOVERNS/SOVEREIGNS families in the area at that time, I would
settle for virtually anything tieing him to such a family, e.g. a will
or his year of birth.

By the way, I and many others have been looking for this information
for years - it ain't easy! I can guess a couple of possible names,
based on circumstantial information, but I'm not paying $100 for an
educated guess. I want something that would be acceptable to an
organization like the DAR.
