(4) Smolenyak, Megan, "Hillary Rodham Clinton's Celtic Roots," Irish America, April/May 2015, pp. 50-51:
I . . . discovered that Hugh E. Rodham's parents had eloped. This revelation emerged gradually beginning with an oddly worded wedding announcement in a local paper. When I couldn't find a marriage record in Scranton as anticipated, I scoured newspapers instead and found a snippet in an August 1902 issue stating that the couple had wed in Binghamton, New York a couple of months earlier on Memorial Day. Now I understand why I hadn't found the record, but the choice of Binghamton revealed even more.
Having roots next door to Scranton in the neighboring city of Wilkes-Barre, I knew that Binghamton was once a Gretna Green for those living in Northeast Pennsylvania. A Gretna Green (named after a southern Scottish village long known for "runaway marriages") is a nearby place that couples go to marry because there are fewer restrictions, making it easier to do so there. Less than a decade after the Rodham-Jones nuptials, a 1910 article bemoaned the loss of income for Binghamton clergymen after local laws were modified, removing restrictions for cross-border marriages.
Hugh S. Rodham and Hannah "Anna" Jones had gone out of state to marry, neglected to inform anyone for a couple of months, and opted to live with the bride's parents. Could it be that the groom's parents didn't approve? A little digging strongly supported this notion.
