The usual procedure was to marry in the bride's home county. You probably know that John Cochran's 1793 Lincoln County will mentions his son Robert. If not, I'll post the abstract published in Grace Turner and Miles Philbeck's book of will abstracts. No mention of a Letitia in their index. The index to Lincoln County court minutes (1779-1812) has bunches of Reeds but no Letitia. Maybe a Reed researcher will answer, too. Kathy Sullivan
