Any clue what church GW Lightner served, though? Like, where I could find a church record to go with the county record? BTW the difficult handwriting makes me think that "Francis" as transcribed here might have been "Travers" First time, best I could see it was "Yxavier" Was "Francis" directly from the book, or from the microfilm? Age 35? The microfilm looks like it could say 35 or 32, and 32 is more like what the census says later. (The floor of the 2 may be very faint. I can't see a hat on the 5 if it's a 5) In a message dated 13-Feb-02 03:49:56 Greenwich Standard Time, Cpzb4@aol.com writes: > Stafford Marriages: > > William Dent son of Francis & Anna Dent > age: 25 occupation Miller > Place of Residence: Hope Haven > Married: Mary F.
