Thanks for everyone's input on Indian Territory in VA. Several of you have asked for details on the Marriage License I mentioned in my earlier email - so here ya go.... They were married 12/25/1902 in Franklin Co, VA. Leo Hyn Wall & Roselle M. Ramsey. He's listed as 31 years old. She's 26. On the 'Color' line, it has 'White' and then right after that there's a blacked-out area where someone has covered up the other word. But there does appear to be a descending character at the end of the word, so I'm assuming it's the Y in Malay. (Note: apparently the Index lists this as: race W & Malay) Anyway, it says that the Husband's residence is 'Indian Territory' and the Wife's is Franklin Co. The Husband's birth place: Canton, China The Wife's birth place: Franklin, Co. VA Husband's parents names: Baur & Sadie Wall Wife's parents names: Daniel & Susan Ramsey Husband's occupation: Steam Laundry (funny, hey?) thanks for the help, SueAnn
