More on the marriage of Isaiah Wilson and Belinda B. Runyon


Belinda B. Runyon daughter of Asa G. Runyon and Mary F. Arthur was born in 1848 Landcaster, Garrard County, KY.

For several years it has been reported that she had married Adolphus Joseph Beuter, son of Joseph Beuter & Anastasia Heim. An obituary for Belinda Beuter, wife of A. J. Beuter. Has been located from Iowa City, 29 Dec. 1919. It doesn't give a maiden name, but it does say she was born in 1838 in York Co., PA. Asa and Mary Runyon and all of their children were born in KY according to the census. As such, that Belinda can not be Belinda B. Runyon daughter of Asa G. Runyon and Mary F. Arthur.

Leslee Boyd found a marriage record for Isaiah Wilson and Belinda Runyon. She found the listing for the marriage on Ancestry.com under Kentucky Marriages 1851-1900. It lists Isaiah Wilson; spouse: Belinda Runyon; marriage date: 28 Mar 1865; County: Garrard; State: KY.

Rick Larson said that he has a "paper copy of her marriage certificate that was signed by Mary F Runyon because Belinda was a minor at the time......It was obtained by a local researcher in KY for my aunt a number of years ago and she passed it on to me."

An original copy of the marriage certificate needs to be obtained from the Garrard County, KY clerk of court to prove that indeed this Belinda Runyon was the daughter of Asa G. Runyon. Does anyone by chance live in Garrard County?

Census records trace Isaiah Wilson and wife Belinda as living in Garrard County Kentucky in 1880, Orangeville, Indiana in 1900, and Lawrence County, Indiana in 1910.


Isaiah & Belinda Wilson Garrard KY 1880 Census


Isaiah & Belinda Wilson Orangeville Indiana 1900 Census


Isaiah & Belinda Wilson Lawrence Indiana 1910 Census



Now the question is who was the Belinda B. Runyon born 1838 in York Co., PA., that married Adolphus Joseph Beuter??

Hi,

Here are the scans of the marriage record I have for Belinda Runyon with Mary Runyon’s signature on them. They were acquired by a now deceased Aunt about 15 years ago from a researcher she hired in Kentucky. Consequently, I am not sure where he found them and where the originals are located.



I am still looking for a letter written by a grandson of Phineas Runyon. In it he describes Phineas and talks about their one meeting. I am having trouble locating it as I have a large pile of papers that need to be filed away properly and I assume it is in there. I was given a copy of the letter about ten years ago from a now deceased fellow genealogist. I am not sure where she found it.
