It seems that everyone in my entire Family Tree Maker database was married on Apr 27, 1870! I don't know what happened, and I could get no solution from Family Tree Maker, so I erased my harddrive and re-installed everything and used a family tree backup from a week back, everything seems ok for now. I have never had any problems with Family Tree Maker software until I upgraded to version 10. Jeremiah Elam was in River Precinct, Morgan Co. Ancestry doesn't have a search engine for the 1860 Kentucky yet, and Morgan has 231 images, so I haven't looked yet, I'll wait until they have Kentucky added. The other Leander was probably this one in the 1880 Morgan Census: 1880 Morgan Co., KY Census River Precinct No. 8 Mag. District No. 84 17-17 L.C.
