George Washington Greek v Jane Rose Greek (Journal 4 p563 - 19 Mar 1857; Journal 5 p336 - 30 Nov 1858; Roll 12 case number 29 - Nov 1858)
By Pamela Pattison Lash (updated 17 December 2021)
The couple married in Fairfield Co, OH on 15 June 1842. I found a marriage record for George Greeque and Jane Rose, 11 June 1842 in Fairfield Co, OH. This is the only possible date for the wedding.
George has land in fee simple in Harden Co, OH. He said Jane had willfully abandoned him more than three years ago. He was granted a divorce.
There is a George W Greek family living in Fairfield Co, OH according to the 1830 Greenfield, Fairfield Co, OH Federal Census with husband, wife and several children. I speculate that this George Greek is George Washington Greek, born 14 September 1800, Schaefferstown, Lebanon Co, PA, son of Elias Krueger and Maria Gibbens. George married Sarah Mosier who died in 1841, probably in Fairfield Co, OH leaving George with six to eight children. I think he married Jane Rose and later moved to the Williams Co, OH area. This George is found much later in life living in 1870 Ransom, Hillsdale Co, MI and 1880 in Madison Twp, Williams Co, OH; both federal census records showed him residing with different sons. George died on 13 January 1885 in the Kunkle , Williams Co, OH area. According to the Hillsdale Standard (Hillsdale, MI), 27 January 1885 p8 c2: George was living with his son Daniel and had gone to Kunkle to visit. One his way home he died and was found by some school children by the side of the road, clutching his cane. I do not know anything else at the present time.
According to The Bryan Press, 10 Apr 1873 p3 c2, George W. Greek took out a marriage license to wed Mary A. Marlow. Whether this is one of the principals in the divorce has not been established.
