I have a strong suspicision that my gr gr gr grandfather may have eloped, or tried to elope with my gr gr gr grandmother in Rockingham County in the year 1811 or 1812. The reason I said "tried to elope..." was that when my gr gr grandfather was born in June of 1812 my gr gr gr grandmother was not married. If she became pregnant in September of 1811, she may have run off and gotten married in the nearest county that would allow a 16 yr. old girl to marry back then. This could have happened in the fall of 1811 or maybe even in the early spring of 1812. Bottom line is that my gr gr gr grandfather married someone else in Rockingham County in October 1812. Any thoughts on where they may have gone to get a quickie marriage? Sincerely Tracy Hunter
