Talk about family intermarriages and confusing lines.. A sister became a step-mother in-law I think I've gotten my Driver mystery figured out and not working further backwards on the Driverline as they married into my Roberts line, using census records and marriage records.. came accross quite the revelations.. Here's my logic so bear with me.. now: Here are the players in the Story: Sarah, Diannah and Amanda Roberts are all sisters (daughters of Matlock Roberts) Thomas Driver is John Driver's father. I've found a Thomas Driver with Malinda on the 1850 Census, I believe this is the father of John Driver as the family matches with dates, names etc. This is the John Driver who married Diannah first then Amanda. There is no daughter Sarah listed in the 1850 Census, she shows up for the first time in the 1860 census in the Driver household. She was 22 in 1860. I've found a marriage record for Sarah Roberts to Thomas Driver for 22 dec 1857. We then have a Sarah Driver marrying Tilmon Jones. 24 May 1885. Tilmon Jones was the executor of Matlock's estate and Matlock has a daughter listed as Sarah Jones. I believe this Sarah is the sister of Diannah and Amanda Sarah is not John's mother but his step-mother (just thought I'd clear that up) So by the looks of it Sarah's stepson John married her sisters.. Mailing of the requests for the marriage license but I've double checked names and dates. so if any of you have this in your tree I'd love to talk to you.. or other insites.. For right now don't want to go further back on the Driver tree cause I'm confused.
