That might explain why I didn't find more marriages for the Lowe people. James Lowe was married to Elizabeth Bates in Jefferson Co about 1828/9. I found very little Bates info in the whole county. I wanted a David Lowe and Anna Eller, who were married just ahead of that. I don't suppose Opal would check?? Pretty please! And thank you for your efforts. I do checkups for a couple other areas and I get such a kick out of helping. Sure beats having to write letters. June Smith BoJu2325@ix.netcom.com I saw Opal Conn's reply to you and thought maybe I'd flipped out. I rechecked and found my book was nothing like hers. I emailed Opal and she replied that there are two Early Marriage Books out there. One by the JeffCo O.G.S. and one by the JeffCo O.H.S. She says mine must be the O.G.S. one. The O.H.S. is many more pages and obviously has many more entries. Glad Opal responded so you got your info. I apologize for my inferior book. http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/listowners/html-off.htm
