Sandy, what a wonderful and interesting story. I have run across a couple of very early teenage marriages, and men in their 50's marrying girls in their 20's. Convenience was more the rule of the day, rather than Love. Pat Durham McRae, in Indiana Researching: TRIMBLE, IVY, ELDER, HALL, FUSSELL, DURHAM, THOMPSON, & FLORA in TN & GA

Pat, you're researching surname "Hall". Would that include a William Hall who married a Parilee Galloway in 1841, and then presumably died before the 1850 census? Childen were James, Arrinetta, and Richard. --- Canopy2@aol.com wrote: > Sandy, what a wonderful and interesting story.
