Hi List I had such a great response with help on my other STAPLES problem, I thought I would try another. You are all such great people and I thank you all again. Miss Elizabeth Staples of Eliot, pub in Eliot, 5-14-1843, Isa BOOKINS of Unity, Me. I think his name must be IRA and nor ISA???? Who is Elizabeth Staples??? I cannot find this couple in the 1850 census in Eliot or Unity????? or anywhere in ME, NH. or VT. Maybe this is pub int of marriage??? and they never actually got married??? Caroline
