Footnotes:

1) There was a variance in the spelling of the bride's first name between the marriage bond [Rohanah] and the marriage return [Ragina]. Another variation of the bride's first name was found in the 1830 census of Wayne, Belmont County, OH, where Rhoaner Stackhouse was enumerated as head of household.

2) Prior to moving to York Township, Belmont County, OH, John Stackhouse was assessed for personal property taxes, as a resident of Harrison County, VA between 1799 and 1800. It is believed that he moved to York Township, with his in-laws, between 1801 and 1805. The first reference to John Stackhouse in York Township, occurred in 1805, when he was named on a tax list.
