Sandy, is there any way to get a copy of that record? WE are trying to find out who this William Stewart was. Hannah Boone Pennington, mother of Daniel Boone Pennington, was first married to John Stewart, in North Carolina, before settling in Barren/Monroe County. The search is: What relationship was William Stewart to Hannah and also Daniel Boone Pennington. THANKS A MILLION!! Nell Since there was no Monroe Co in 1805, they were married in Barren Co, one of the parent counties of Monroe (formed 1820). Their marriage license is no longer available but has been recorded: Daniel Pennington to Esther Frailey, bond 14 Aug 1805, sureties by William Stewert, consent of her father, Christopher Frailey. Md 20 Aug 1805 by John Mulkey. Hope this helps, Sandi The Past is History The Future a Mystery The Present is a Gift ! . . . . . . Sending hugs, Nell Truitt
No Nell, as I noted, the marriage record doesn't exist any more; the first few years of marriages were lost many, many years ago. They were recorded and the only reference was in the index book of marriages at the courthouse and in the published records. I'm hoping someone on the Monroe Co list will have knowledge of your William Stewart ... I would imagine they were all members of "Old Mulkey" Church in Tompkinsville. Sandi
