Linda and others, It appears that this was exactly that they lived together prior to marriage. In 1870 they both were widowed. Stephen made Caroline hhis 3rd wife in 1871 in Smyth County, and then at somepoint before 1880 moved to Tazewell County, where they can be found on the 1880 census with additional children.
