I didn't know either. I was just searching while my scanner is doing some work and leaving me bored to sleepyness. Not good at work! I did happen to have some notes in my satchel. Francis (Frank) and Elizabeth were married Dec 9th 1888. I may need to check this date in the original. If an eight was written poorly it could have been 1883. The date was taken from a scanned image out of a book that was converted to text by OCR, Optical Character Recognition. This could be the source of the error (If it exists). It seems strange that there would be a five year difference between the relinquishment of the land and her marriage. And I think that we have enough information to establish that they are the same person. I would be interested in getting a copy of your research. If you have or have access to a paper scanner you could scan the information that you have and email it to me. My home email is: umajor@wirelessbeehive.com. That would save you postage and time. JPEG (.jpg) files are fine. On black and white information I scan at 100 dpi gray scale. Text (books and typewritten) I scan at 3 or 400 dpi OCR. (black or white). I note that your email address is an au.edu. Would that per chance be the University of Alabama? My father was born in Tuscaloosa and has family back to the 1840s. With the step daughter's name, Holloway, we now have a lead on her mother's first husband. ______ Holloway of TN. Interesting. Something else to look at. Well, I'd better close this missive. I have a bus to intercept. (I doubt that I could catch any bus... Especially if it was past me and moving away.)
