  • Notes  Married:
    • Identified as W. H. Body, 21, b. Harrison Co, res. Gilmer Co; and Rachel Spurgeon, 21, b. Doddridge Co, res. Gilmer Co. Married Oct 3 1868 in Gilmer County. (Note: Husband's birthplace is given in 1850 Census as Maryland, and in his son's death record as Baltimore, Md. Husband's obituary states marriage date as December 1868. Although the typewritten ledger-style marriage record states Oct 3 1868, the entry is out of sequence, placed between marriages for Nov 12 and Dec 17 1868. The October date may thus actually be a clerical error.)
