Norma, Thanks for your reply and info. I did have the marriage record however I did not have the minister John Brown, I have this morning seen a reply to your suggestions of a Lutheran or Presbyterian affiliation. I was almost certain he would have been the later with my Carson /McCauley union and this person confirmed that he had to have been since his minister ancestor John Brown did not come to the area that early. Now this leads to a new clue any Presbyterian churches in that area at that time. Do you know of any sources that would have that information on the internet??? Many Thanks Jackie
