      Identified as Leander Davis, single, 21, b. & res. in Doddridge Co, son of Stephen C. & Jemima Davis; and Leverna A. Hall, widowed, 18, b. & res. in Doddridge Co, dau of John & (blank) Kelley. Married Feb 7 1872 in Doddrige County.
      NOTE: Wife's widowed marital status is incorrect. Her former husband remarried on Apr 21 1872. Identification of wife's father as John Kelley, rather than John Carter, is an apparent clerical error.
