I thought this was worth forwarding to the group. Please give me some help on who John's parents, William and Elizabeth, might be. ========================================================================== To Whom It May Concern: I am actually a Mabe researcher. John Crockett Inman and Mary C. Mabe, daughter of John and Lucinda Gray Mabe, were listed in the Wythe County Vital Statistic microfilm (owned by LDS), as having married on December 29, 1858. I could never accept that John C. and Mary Mabe Inman were childless with John's first child from his second marriage seemingly being born before that marriage. Your website listed John W. L. Inman as being born on November 9, 1868 and the marriage occuring about 1870. With Mary's father being John and John's father being William, it was easy to assume that this first child could very well have been John William L. Inman, named after his grandfathers. However, in the Carroll County Vital Statistic Microfilm (LDS #0031087), the marriage date for John C. Inman, age 26, widowed and born in Wythe County to William and Elizabeth Inman married Eliza J. Robinson, age 19, born in Carroll County, daughter of John and Jane Robinson on February 22, 1866. I now have a parameter for Mary C. Mabe Inman and hopefully you have an exact date. Mary Kay Mabe
