Marriage |
17 Dec 1890 |
Niagara Falls, Niagara Co., NY |
Married Dec. 17, 1890, per newspaper article in Gwen Hibbard's scrapbook. Article does not specify if they were married in Niagara Falls, NY or Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. Family bible in Mary Hibbard's possession lists marriage date of Hoyt Hibbard and Mary Swan as Dec. 16, 1890 rather than Dec. 17th .
The North Collins Town Clerk (July 1996) checked entries around 1890/1891 but found NO marriage record on file. (Probably on file in Niagara Falls-NY or Canada?) Jan. 1999: Niagara Falls, NY Town Clerk says they find no marriage record.
