    1. [ALBARBOU] COMER, George L.
    2. Jim and Terri Tait
    3. Homer, Bluff City Times, Thursday, June 9, 1870 "Married at the home of the bride's father, Dr. Wm.H. THORNTON, in Eufaula, by Rev. M.B. Wharton, G.L.COMER and Miss Laura V. THORTON." I am almost certain this is St. George Legare Comer, son of John F. and Catherine COMER. In 1850, he appears in the census with his parents as a 3 year old - St. George L., and in 1860 as 14 year old Legare. If you can, look at the Comer family history at: http://www.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/c/Comer_Family >From that web site: "He married Catharine Lucinda Drewry (d. 1898) in 1841, and they had six sons: Hugh Moss Comer (1842-1900); John Wallace Comer (1845-1919); St. George Legare Comer (1847-1870); U.S. senator and Alabama governor Braxton Bragg Comer (1848-1919); John Fletcher Comer, Jr. (1854-1927); and Edward Trippe Comer (1856-1927). There was also at least one daughter in the family. " Be interesting to see some of the pictures the web site mentions - especially the photograph of John Wallace Comer in Civil War uniform with his slave, Burrell.
