I also have a marriage certificate showing a Levi McArdle’s marriage to Olive Stewart in 1870. (July 29) Interestingly enough this was officiated by a R. McArdle (Justice of the Peace) in Kansas. I know this is not my direct line ancestor, but am sure this is a branch off of the tree. I think I have also found the census records for Levi and Remus McArdle, but they aren’t on the top of the pile right now. They should have been found in Kansas in 1870 and would show where they were from. I know John McArdle was in Illinois and From Virginia so either would show a possible tie.
I probably have a lot of this documented, but I’m trying to go back through my files and fill in sources and document records.
