The first box searches the first name listed in the record (usually the husband, but some counties list them both ways) and the second box searches the last name in the marriage record. I usually just enter surnames and if I don't find the one I'm looking for on the first try then I'll switch them around and put the wife's surname in the first box & the husband's surname in the second box & try again. Here is all I have on the Cabiness line, with sources. I didn't research it for my Clay book because I didn't know then that they were descended of Clay's, and I have only begun researching for the Belcher book. So there isn't a whole lot there & most of the sources are secondary, some of it even comes from recent conversations on this forum! Hopefully I'll have more info before the Belcher book comes out. One note, I have deleted the names of possible ancestors of Francis Belcher that I do not want to discuss yet. I rcvd this info from another researcher & have never seen it anywhere else. To spread it around on the internet without any idea of it's correctness would be irresponsible and may hurt my own chances of discovering the validity of it. So please don't email me & ask me for it! Once I have investigated more, I'll be glad to share my findings. Another note, dfarley.ftm which is listed frequently is a file sent to me by Jana Walls, whose email address I can't locate. If anyone knows it, I'd like to have it.
