Ancestry Board doesn't like my privacy setting and will not allow me to post on the board. So I hope someone on the list will help me out. I am trying to determine if Salathial Fordham and Elizabeth Pickle were actually married in 1831 rather than 1841. A couple of the children were born prior to the 1841 marriage. One item shared with me was that Salathial first married Elizabeth Durham. I have no access to the marriages and I am confused as usual, but, something isn't right here. Also, in 1850 census of Henry Co., Al. Salathial and Elizabeth Fordham lived near Lewis and Mary Parker. Lewis and Mary's son Robert name one of his son's Salathial, one Francis Marion, etc. Many of the same names are in the Fordham Family. Did a Fordham marry a Parker??? Oh so many mysteries... Thanks for any help. Winn

Winn, The Wilkinson County History book by Davidson confirms they were married Aug. 31, 1841, marriage was performed by William Garrot, J.P. If he married previously in Twiggs County it would be hard to come up with a record since courthouse burned in 1901 unless there is a newspaper article or bible record verifying a previous marriage.
