____________________________________________________
The NH state marriage index also contains a marriage of a Jeremiah York of New Durham to Elsy Palmer of New Durham on Oct 6, 1803 in New Durham by Samuel Aunnals of New Durham.
Also listed is Jeremiah York of New Durham & Hannah Nason of New Durham, m. 9 Dec 1824 by Wm Buzzell in Middleton NH. Also, Jeremiah York of Middleton to Eveline M. Bennett of Alton by H.D. Buzzell (one card says m. on 29 Dec 1800 in Alton, another card says m. bef Apr 1, 1850 in Alton). Another entry suggests the date was closer to 1850 -- it shows Charles B. York of Dover NH age 23, occ: wild dealer, b. Dover NH (his 1st m) son of Jeremiah and Mary Bennett, m. Sep 7, 1893 Dover NH to Clara L. Roberts of dv age 24, b. Rochester NH (her 1st m) dau. of Elijah Roberts.
A very likely brother: NH marriage index shows: Eliphley York of Middleton m. 27 Jul 1807 in New Durham to Nancy [?Twornbly?] of Farmingon, m. by Benj Randal of New Durham. The bride's last name is clearly the same as Lydia's last name, the date is very similar, and there is a name similarity with one of Jeremiah's sons.
