Moses Waddell. Oliver, John & Sarah Harris, 18 Dec 1816. Moses Waddell. [it is not clear if he was the witness, surety or minister. Although there are a few other Oliver marriages in this "book", these are the only two with Moses Waddell mentioned so I'm guessing they were either related, or in the same place in SC. However, another reference says that John married Sarah in Elbert Co, GA.] http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=BookList&dbid=48054&offerid= 0:7858:0 Early Settlers of Alabama Part II 1899 (Mrs. Elizabeth Blair Saunders Stubbs) p. 423 - moved to AL with his brother-in-law Maj.
