Just passing down info., Thats what its all about, I don't think they would have any reason to lie about religion. As far as I know my Jordon Breedlove was never in LA. Nor was he in the west, Our Breedlove's lived in TN and GA.

Not at all. Even if you have definite proof of a marriage date that falls after the date of birth of a child that only means the parents solemnized their vows officially later. It could be that they were travelling and were married by some itinerant minister who never recorded the marriages anywhere, or it could be an informal marriage where there were no preachers available and they decided to be married in the eyes of themselves and their travelling companions or neighbors. We had a full page story in todays newspaper about a woman whose 1st husband went off to fight in the Texas revolution and never came back so she took up with another soldier, bore him children and lived as his wife for seven years before he died. There was a long court battle over his property as they were never officially married. This became the basis for the Common Law Marriage statutes here in Texas. This is this first time I have heard of Breedlove's that were Mormon. I would rather doubt it as Louisiana never had any Mormon settlements or gatherings there. Perhaps these Breedlove's moved out West and became Mormon out there. Tom --WebTV-Mail-1288389547-2152--
