Veitschegger > > ==== KYPIKE Mailing List ==== Rodney: Can you provide us with a transc. of this marriage record? I have his 3rd marr. to Dicy Roberts [apparent step-dau? of Isaac Roberts] in Wise Co., VA but it doesn't give "William Johnson in Pike Co., KY" as the father. See my transc. below: _______From files of The Tackett Family Assn.__________ *MARRIAGE [Jacob Johnson to Dicy Roberts]: Wise Co., VA Marr. Lic. & Marr. Return, photo copy of original on file with Tackett Family Assn. LICENSE issued 3 Dec 1872 for marr. of Jacob Johnson & Dicy Roberts; Time of Marr., 3 Dec 1872; Place: Wise Co., VA; Names: Jacob Johnson & Dicy Roberts. Jacob, age 61, widowed, born KY, a resident of Wise Co., VA; son of Wm. & Aley Johnson; Dicy Roberts, age 38, Single, born KY, a resident of Wise Co., VA, a dau. of Isaac & Dorcus Mullins [or Kelly]; occupation of husband: Farmer. Ministers Return of Marriage: I Certify that on the 9 day of December 1872 at Mouth of Caney, I united in Marriage the above named and described parties under authority of the annexed License. James M. Smith. [JWT Note: Is there a Mouth of Caney in Wise Co., VA also? I only know of Mouth of Caney in Pike Co., KY.] ______________ It has been my assumption that this JACOB [there were others] was a son of WILLIAM PAYNE JOHNSON & ALEY TACKITT JOHNSON of Pike Co., KY, and the above comes as close to "proof" that we have. Others, however, give a good case for JACOB not being a son of the Pike Co. William. Jim W.
