One of the suggestions for this week is writing about an ancestor with a “prosperous” name like Wealthy or Fortune?
I noticed that there were three individuals with the surname “Rich” in my tree. Isabell Rich is the wife of John Franklin Woodburn, my 1st cousin five times removed. The couple were married in Montgomery, Tennessee. Isabell and her brother, Freling Hisen Rich, share the same wedding date, May 14, 1865. Freling married Sidney Ann Rogers. John Woodburn was the witness to Freling and Sidney’s marriage. Freling was John and Isabell’s witness.
Isabell Rich and John F Woodburn Marriage Record 1865
Isabell, born 1849 in Tennessee, was about 16 years of age at her marriage. It is possible the Isabell died within the first year of their marriage. As, John F. Woodburn remarried in February 1867 to Helena Brady, in Christian County, Kentucky.
A death record has not yet been found for Isabell Rich Woodburn.
