Tracie - I think there is some confusion with the two Isaacs and all the wives. I had wondered previously if that Margaret Dorinda wasn't the Margaret D. Cook, just with the wrong name, but it looks like you've gotten that straightened out now, since you found the marriage record. The Isaac you are talking about with the sons Bonaparte and Abram is (I believe -- someone else out there correct me if I'm wrong), the son of Abraham and Martha, Abraham being the son of John & Hannah. This Isaac must have had a first wife though, does anyone have him somewhere in the census in 1850? It looks like he had several children prior to marrying Margaret (and she was barely older than his children if that census transcription is correct!). He is definitely going to take some straightening out, isn't he? :-) But welcome to the SHIVERs, they ALL require that! :-) Mary K. -- Mary Kathryn Kozy mkozy@ibm.net http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~marykozy Dougherty Co., GA USGenWeb page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~gadoughe Monroe Co., GA USGenWeb page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~gamonroe South King Co.
