Married Nov 30 1893 at the residence of William Weekley, the presiding minister. http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=12040791&Type=Marriage. Event Notes Note (1) Wife Nancy's marital status was given as widowed at the time of her remarriage in January 1862. However, since she was head of household with her daughter in the 1860 Census (enumerated on Aug 8 1860), it is reasonable to assume that he had already died at that time. No record of his death has been found. Note (2) Birth date given in death record as 1842, but date on headstone is 1841, the 1900 Census states July 1841, and a newspaper article specifies Jul 16 1841. He was age 10 in the 1850 Census. Note (3) In 1920, location specified as Camp Run Road, in household of son Marion. Note (4) Birth date given in obituary as Aug 12 1854, while the 1900 Census shows it as Aug 1853. Note (5) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Oct 1857, while the date on her headstone is 1855. The Oct 6 1856 date in her death record conforms to her age 3 in the 1860 Census.Name Index
