In Reply to: Marriage in CA 1862- John C. REID to Miss Lizzie A. ALLEN by Vern Dander of 5786

Did a little search on the pastor and found a John A Anderson who led the Presbyterian Church in Stockton during 1862 timeframe. The W C Anderson, also a pastor, who performed the service could have been his father, William C Anderson who was visiting the son. The church may have a record of the event. Info on the Andersons is at URL:

Found numerous hits using United States/California/SanJoaquin/Reid as entry criteria. URL:

Checked out one in 1863 from same paper that marriage notice was in with likelihood that there was a birth sometime a year later and found following which looks like a fit:

>>TUESDAY, 4 AUG 1863<<

BIRTH – in this city, Sunday, Aug. 2d, to the wife of John C. REID, of a daughter.

Also found following in Heritage Quest. As always, some data subject to interpretation of census takers scribbles and comparison of different census data. Just pulled basic info.
