The names aren't that common. Plus to have a child with that close of a name. Were the entries on the marriage certificate typed or hand written. Maybe the age of L. Merica was put in by someone else and they just wrote it wrong. Who knows. Was there a birth certificate of the birth of their child? Did they ever divorce of just go their seperate ways? It's always so difficult when something like this happens. I have quite a bit of info. about Sylvanus and Jemima if it would help. Let me know.
