Hi, You're not butting in at all. I'd like to get this information straightened out. The marriage license/bond of D.G. LUNSFORD and Rebecca A. CONDER is in Decatur Co., and the bond for $1250 submitted by D.G. LUNSFORD and C. A. CAMPBELL and signed by both CAMPBELL and LUNSFORD. Then the marriage certificate is solemnized by D.D. MAYS (which is probably also a relative of my Louisa S. MAYS). By having a bond for Rebecca, doesn't that mean she was under a certain age? The more I work with my family in Decatur Co., I'm convinced that the entire area around Parsons eventually married one another so they were all related :-) Are you finding the same? Also, William Chesterfield LUNSFORD and Laura S. HILL were married in Decatur Co in 1902. After the 1900 census, I do not find my line of LUNSFORDs until 1920 where they are in Caddo Co., OK. My ggrandfather William Phil/Presley, the father of William Chesterfield, died in the Chickasaw Nation, OK near Roff, in 1903. I'll try to explain more later or answer any additional questions you might have, but I need to get off the line because my daughter needs to use the phone.
