Hillbillies & Vikings

This site is focused broadly on all descendants of John Denboe, an indentured servant who came to the Crown Colony of Maryland in about the year 1664. Also, it maintains a special emphasis on the descendants of John Denbow (1797-1862) and his brother Bazeleel (1795-1857), early pioneers in the hills of Southeastern Ohio, as well as the descendants of Jón Jónsson (1841-1934) of Dalasýsla, Iceland, who was an Icelandic immigrant to Canada and now has progeny throughout North America.

I have a note that says: DIV: CONT actually filed and granted in 1852, Location of divorce was Harrison, Ohio, USA. I need to find evidence both of this marriage and of the divorce. I think the divorce information may be incorrect, or involve another couple with similar names.
