______________________________________________
1815 - Pike County was established from Ross, Adams & Scioto. I have not seen any proof that his middle name was Abner. DO NOT ASSUME HIS MIDDLE NAME WAS ABNER. I believe the name Abner came from Christina's family and I believe she had brothers living near them named Abner & Samuel. Abner J.(Jackson?)Syford married Rosetta-aka Rosella Tingley(daughter of Samuel Tingley & Hannah Bartlett). Samuel married Mary Vance.

First married Elizabeth Brown on 22 Mar 1839 • Clark County, Illinois. She was born 1823 • Clark County, Illinois. Died 1839-1844 • Clark County, Illinois.
The marriage record says "by consent of his father". If he was born in 1819, did he have to be 21 years old to marry? She was of lawful age. They were married by Asa Gore (J.P.)

Second marriage was to Christina Cyphers/Syford on 22 Feb 1844 • Clark County, Illinois. Born Jan 1824 • Ohio/Died 1884-1889.
The marriage record says "both of age" Married by J.M. Sluss (J.P.) This record also found in Clark Co, Illinois Marriages 1819-1838. Copied & presented by Mr. Ray Burkybile Clerk of the Circuit Court Clark Co., Marshall, Illinois.
