  		Marriage records reveal the surname of Nathaniel's wife Olympus and the husband of Nathaniel's sister Margaret From St. Paul's P.E. Church, 225 S. Third St., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. P.E. stands for Protestant Episcopal. This building is very much intact, and currently houses the Episcopal Community Services of the Diocese of Pennsylvania. There is also an old graveyard adjacent, but no Strayhorn graves are in evidence. Image courtesy Gary Zentmyer
  		Actual marriage entries for Nathaniel and Margaret Strayhorn We read these entries as 'Straihorn' and not 'Straithorn,' as they were recorded in the St. Paul's register above.
