Back in those days to be proper, they went in to mourning for at least a year before marrying. Even if he had died in June of 1852, that window of 1 year would be cutting it pretty close. Just saying.......You could be right. I am approaching this with much caution. It looks good but needs to be totally proven with a slam dunk. I'm calling the courthouse now. Gloria
