Utter Ancestry
« on: Monday 30 April 18 19:36 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find out more about Amelia Jane Utter (born circa 1829). She married William P. McNeill in 1848 in Clermont, OH.

I'm not sure where she was born or who her parents were.

I did find a William Burke Utter (born in 1803 in Clermont, OH). I'm not sure if they are somehow related. It looks like he and wife Mahala Truitt had other children around the same time that Amelia was born.

If anyone could help me out and find any more info I would greatly appreciate it.

The marriage says she was 16 born abt 1832, also says Thomas was 16.  Says she married Thomas P not William but haven't seen the original record. 

Can you find them on a census with perhaps a birthplace that would help?

Actually I found that she was born in Ohio according to the death record for her son William.

How can you see that she was born in 1832?

Yes I meant to type Thomas P. McNeill that was my mistake.

There is a transcription on ancestry that shows both her and Thomas as 16 but the link to the record of marriage shows Thomas as 22.

I am thinking that it's possible Amelia Jane Utter (Family Search ID# 99VT-V1X) may have been a grandchild of Joseph Elkanah Watson Utter Jr. This is only speculation at this point since I have not yet found a a record to prove the relationship. I know that he died in Clermont county and Amelia was married in that same county. Her birth year aligns correctly to possibly be a child of one of Joseph's male children (Colonel Dowty, James, William Burke, Samuel, or Joseph).

I am currently speculating that she may be a descendant of William Burke, born between Elizabeth Anne and Joseph D. Since she married in 1848 at 16 years of age, this explains why she wouldn't be listed in the 1850 US census as a resident living under the household of William Burke.

She named her son William which further supports that she may have descended from William Burke. William Burke also has a daughter Sarah Jane (repeated use of the name Jane as a middle name).
