    1. [TNGILES-L] Marriage Info:
    2. James H. Davis
    3. Hi, folks: My 3rd great-grandfather, Peterson McGill, was born in TN 1816, d. Lauderdale Co., AL, Jan. 1888. He appears to have lived his entire life in the small area right where the four counties of Giles, Lawrence, Lauderdale and Limestone come together. He's in a census of each one of those counties at least once between 1840 and 1880. Peterson seems to have been married four times: The LDS database says first wife was Mahala Long, whom he appears to have married around 1835-36 (his first child, Robert, being born in 1836). His second wife, as supported by minutes of the Puncheon Camp Baptist Church, would seem to have been Oda Marbut (b. SC 1832). I can find wedding licenses for Peterson to his last two wives (Sarah Sherwood [Giles, 1870] and Catherine Daly [Lauderdale 1873]), BUT I CANNOT FIND ANY RECORD OF LICENSES BEING ISSUED FOR EITHER OF HIS FIRST TWO MARRIAGES IN ANY OF THE FOUR COUNTIES. Can someone PLEASE help? Jim Davis
