The Allen sisters are the first recorded double wedding I have found in my family tree. At least I assume it was a double wedding. I'd hate to think that they each decided to get married that day and drove their parents crazy by having two separate ceremonies in two separate places.
Joseph Gaunt, son of Hananiah Gaunt and Ann Ridgway, was born September 30, 1740 in Little Egg Harbor Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. He is my 5th-great-grandfather.
David Nathaniel Preisner was born September 30, 1975. He is the nephew of my aunt Mary McStroul and her sister Jean McStroul and the 1st cousin of my 1st cousin Andy Meckler and my not-quite-cousin Angela Williams.
Matthew Marek was born September 30, 1987. He is the 3rd cousin once removed of my half-sister Laura Sellers.
David Michael Allen, son of Clarence Allen, Jr. and Grace Stagnato, and Joyce C. Freund were married September 30, 1972 in Bordentown, Burlington County, New Jersey. David is my 5th cousin once removed on my Gauntt line through the Allens.
Thomas R. Foster and Ellen Marie Allen, daughter of William Kester Allen, Jr. and Thelma May Price, were married September 30, 1983 in Bordentown, Burlington County, New Jersey. Ellen is also my 5th cousin once removed on my Gauntt line through the Allens.
James H. Hewitt and Mary Jane Allen, daughter of William Kester Allen, Jr. and Thelma May Price, were also married September 30, 1983 in Bordentown, Burlington County, New Jersey. And yes, Mary Jane is another 5th cousin once removed on my Gauntt line through the Allens, since she is Ellen's sister.
Gregory Edmund Carter and Kaylette Sue Smith were married September 30, 1988. Gregory is my 4th cousin.
Robb Gui Wong and Allyson Denby McStroul were married September 30, 2000. Allyson is the 1st cousin once removed of my aunt Mary McStroul and her sister Jean McStroul and the 2nd cousin of my 1st cousin Todd Meckler, not-quite-cousin Angela Williams, and Mindy McStroul.
Thomas Daniel Swain died September 30, 1929 in Norfolk City, Virginia at the age of 57. He was the third husband of Rachel Anna Armstrong, daughter of Joel Armstrong and Sarah Ann Deacon Lippincott, who is my great-grandaunt.
Robert Gaunt, son of Walter Clayton Gaunt and Lulu May Sherman, died September 30, 2000 in Fort Wayne, Allen County, Indiana at the age of 77. He is my 5th cousin once removed via the Gaunts.
