    3. Does anyone show a marriage record in the Whitley, Knox, Bell counties area in KY or TN for a Jeremiah Carpenter and a Polly Unknown? I have Jerry /Jeremiah married four times: 1. Elizabeth Hamblen Rose, m.29 Nov 1868 in Whitley Co. KY. 2. Obedience "Biddy" Wilson, m. 27 Oct 1883 in Campbell Co. TN. She is listed as Jerry's wife also on the 1900 Whitley Co. census. Also lists her as having 8 children, 6 still alive. 3. Polly Unknown is listed as Jerry's wife on the 1910 Whitley co. KY census. She is listed there as 44 years old & born in KY. They are in the South America precinct of Whitley, page 143A, 23/24. It also appears that the enumerator has listed the number of times married by the names: it's very hard to read but it looks like this is Jerry's 4th marriage and Polly's 3rd marriage. The number of years married is listed as 10 by Jerry's name and 2 by Polly's! It looks as though the enumerator meant to put 2 children/ 2 living, and got them in the wrong column. 4. By the 1920 & 30 censuses, Jerry is with his last wife Ollie or Olie Lawson. He died in 1944. I also don't have a record of when or where this last marriage took place. Any assistance with this family would be most helpful! Pat H., Jerry's gr-gr-gr-grandaughter.
