Cheryl, The 19 Sept 1895 marriage of Darius Minor Whitlock to Florence C. Barrett is listed in V. B. Horton's "Hampshire Co. Marriages of the 1800's." None of his other marriages are listed. There are marriages listed for other Whitlock's: Edward, Elizabeth, Lottie, Lydia, Margaret, Mary, Risus, and William. Do you want any of these? Four marriages! Good grief! He was worse than one of my paternal gg-grandfathers in Va. who had 3. It seemed that soon after one died, she was replaced with a younger model. Needless to say, he had several children. Elaine

Found what HAS to be his death too, but it doesn't match what's reported to be on the gravestone.
