• Marriage*: 8 April 1853; Northumberland Co., Canada West; Marriage Register: Groom: Smith German; Bride: Mary Rickman; Date: Apr 8 1853; Auth.: Banns; Wit.: Jeremiah McDonald & ?Prizlin Rickman; Marriages solemnized by Hiram Williams (Ontario Marriage Registers, Newcastle Dist., 1853, pg. 3 of 4, ancestry.ca) per marriage reg'n. of daughter Sarah (German) Covell.
  Note: I am guessing that Jacob S. German had only one wife, partly because this marriage register shows a witness to be what may be Priscilla Ryckman, a sister of Nancy. The use of Mary in the record is confusing but Mary and Nancy are often used interchangeablly. There is a Mary Ryckman in that family, but she married someone else. Dates don't fully mactch, but close enough to make it likely there was one wife. Mary early on and Nancy later.; Principal=Mary "Nancy" Ryckman¹⁰
