The only things that I can think of that would prove it are: The original marriage application where they name the father (most are not available) An affidavit giving permission to marry if they are underage A will that names the daughter with her married name A Return on an estate where there was no will that shows shares paid to heirs (occasionally these pay the money to the spouse) listing on a census where relationship is stated family bible executors deed where the daughter would show as an heir selling property church records that say a group moved their membership together christening records Can any one else add what I have missed? Donna

Other options listed want work. On the 1830 she is a talley mark under Isaac Casey. On the 1840 she is still a talley mark under Isaac but I can't find them yet. On the 1850 well she is Hix Martin's wife then and is living in his house hold with him and shows up a Margaret Martin. Can't seem to find out where Isaac died so can't find a will. Same with estate papers No known bible record as of yet. How would I search Forsyth Co. GA Deeds is there a book published that shows a extracted version of this avaliable yet? Hix was Methodist so I am hoping that Margaret would have been to and did not just converet over after her marriage to Hix. Does anyone have access to the early as in 1800-1850 Methodist church records for Cumming GA? Help............................PLEASE!!!
