James D. Gurley's marriage record show that he married Louisa Jane High on February 2, 1859 in Janesville, Wisconsin. James then came to Norwalk, Ohio in 1860 where a Huron County Recorder Deed clearly shows that James Gurley's wife was Jane L. and they were currently residing in Lucas County, Ohio. The final document is James D. Gurley's obituary that states he married Jennie High in Janesville, Wisconsin in 1861.
In conclusion, we find that James married Louisa Jane High who went by the name Jane or Jennie. Although his obituary says he married Jane in 1861, we know that they were married before the deed was record in 1860 and therefore the marriage date of February 2, 1859 is a more accurate date. Also, the marriage record is an original record with primary information. We therefore can accurately state that James D. Gurley and Louisa Jane High were married on February 2, 1859 in Janesville, Rock County, Wisconsin.
