T. Speaks age 19 married Victory C. Yancy age 18 on April 3, 1876. The County Clerk was A. P. Sanders. This license is located in book C page 200. W. F. Speaks age 25 married Emma Field age 15 on November 2, 1884. The marriage was performed by Asa S. Blackwood, Minister of the Gospel. License located in book G page 125. Security for this license was signed by W. T. Hollaway. A note attached to the license says: October 2, 1884, To the clerk of White County, this is to certify that I am willing for Wm. Speaks and Emmy Field to marry. Her father gave her to us when she was three or four years old and we have raised her. Her age is 15 years. (This was signed by either B. S. Hart or R. S. Hart.
