Hi List As most of you know my LEMUEL DELK was sent to prison for helping kill MARTIN OWENS. I am trying to find out IF his wife divorced him between 1900-1910. In the two census years PERMELIA DELK, Lemuel's wife was listed as divorced in one census and widow in the other..yet both were living and living seperate. Does Fentress Co have divorce records at the courthouse ? If anyone has access to Divorce records could you look Lemuel & Permelia. I have looked at some that were listed in the paper but they weren't there. maybe she just left him and assumed she was divorced and that he was dead (G) Milly WARD Piros My Mind is Like Lightning....

Milly, I have been in North Carolina for a week, and read your request today. I will be glad to check for divorce records as soon as I am able to get up to the court house in Jamestown. Was she listed as divorced in the 1900 census? If so, I will need to check prior to 1900 for divorce records.
