      This reference, p. 61, identifies participants as Nathan Prim, 22, b. Doddridge Co, res. Ritchie Co, son of Nathan & Keziah; and Martha A. Wilson, 19, of Ritchie Co, dau of Peter T. & Amy. Married Sep 2 1875. This is clearly incorrect, as the husband of Martha Wilson is known to be Nathan's older brother James. Unclear whether the error is in the original marriage document or in the transcription process.
