Belva Knouse Shepard, dau of John & Christina Knouse
I have been trying to prove that Belva Shepard, daughter of John Knouse and Christina Miller, and mentioned in his will is Elizabeth Kanouse who married Jacob Shuppert.
On page 7 & 7a of Marriage Book C in Decatur County, dated January 13, 1834, John Aunspauch (probably Anspach) attests that John Knouse, father of Elizabeth Knouse gave his consent for Jacob Shuppert to obtain the marriage license.
Thought other researchers might like to have this information for their files.
