John M. Scribner lives next door to Thomas R. McCarty on the 1880 census in Jasper County, Illinois. Thomas R. McCarty's first wife was Elizabeth Scribner. So I think they were brother-in-laws. On the 1880 census John Scribner lives with his much younger wife Bell. The original marriage register record is in Crawford County, Illinois and the information is listed as follows:
28 Aug 1878 • Crawford County, Illinois between John M. Scribner and Isabella Fithian (indexed as Thifeon in ILL State online database)
Marriage Record states Groom's parents are Wesley Scribner and Hattie Snellg. Age 47 2nd marriage. Bride's parents are John Masters and Elizabeth Best. 2nd marriage. Fithian-1st marriage. Bride is 28 and born in Jasper County, Illinois
The record does not state where the groom was born. I am wondering if the Hattie is a clerk transcription error and if it was Mattie which would be Martha. This would indicate Martha's maiden name was Snellg which makes one wonder if it was more likely another error and it is either Snellgrove or Snell.
