Notes
Marriage Notes (John (Johannnes) Greathouse Jr.)
Source: Vivian M. Taylor - John Jr.'s second wife was NOT married to John in Goshen, Oldham County, KY, in 1816. That is from the incorrect oral tradition. Oldham County had not been formed yet by 1816. The second marriage was more likely in 1820, the year before John Tecumseh's birth. [Lydia married in 1819 and moved to Illinois. Probably Parthenia left too; she found a husband a few years later in Illinois. The lack of women around the house to do the cooking in early 1820 would have given John Jr. the incentive to find a second wife.] I cannot find a marriage record, but either Union County, KY, or White County, IL, would have been logical. The second wife is not specified in the 1830 census as a second wife; this woman is, however, at least ten or twelve years younger than John, and the first wife was the same age group. 9
