	in 1823 in Grantsville, Garrett, MD, between "James Samuel McGoffin" and Mary Polly Schultz. The locale and date fits our James. If this is indeed the same, then Lem's mother may have been Mary Polly Schultz.

Notes from Bill Hess, Tulsa OK

*The photograph was submitted by Jerry Finlayson, the grandnephew of MARY Ellen Bartlett (1843-1888) who married James K. Polk Williams (1843-1878).  James's son is Promotheus Williams. Mary's niece,  MINNIE Ellen Bartlett (1881-1968)  married Joel Arthur Chivers (1878-1904).  Minnie's sister-in-law was Mary Chivers (1895-1936) who married Albert John Hess b.1866.  Albert's uncle, William Aloysis "Will" Hess married Wilma Aloysia "Allie" McGoffin.

editor's note: What are the odds of a couple having the same first and middle names (William Aloysis & Wilma Aloysia) in the masculine and feminine versions? Is this what brought them together? Do any of the descendents have a story about this? Or is this story lost to the ages?
