Bretneys & VanMeters, Clark Co., Ohio; 1826
I am not a Bretney researcher, but I am a VanMeter researcher and descendant.I have a booklet "A VanMeter Chapter in The American Story" by Gregory V. Cox.
He mentions a VanMeter brother and sister who married Bretney sister and brother.
Joseph Reynolds VanMeter married Sarah Bretney, daughter of Henry and Sarah (Truitt) Bretney (some records state Bretner).
She was born 1 July 1826 in Clark Co., Ohio; died 22 March 1894 in Champaign Co., Ohio of consumption.Buried 24 March 1894 in Oak Dale Cemetery, Urbana. They had about four children.
Sarah Jane VanMeter married John Reynolds Bretney, son of Henry and Sarah Bretney. They had about five children - Henry Clay Bretney; Edwin Bretney; Bernard Reeves Bretney; Beatrick Bretney, married (unknown) Smith.
