Henry CERTAIN on 24 Apr 1892 in Lincoln County, Tennessee 1 Died: 15 Oct 1896 2   Research Notes: Although her given middle name was rendered "Caldony" in the Carter Bible, it was probably Caldonia. 4 5 Mary married W. Henry CERTAIN on 24 Apr 1892 in Lincoln County, Tennessee.2 (W. Henry CERTAIN was born about 1862 6 and died on 26 May 1917 in Lincoln County, Tennessee 6.)   Marriage Notes: Other marriage records show they were married 24 Dec 1891. James Danley speculates this date may refer to the date marriage bond was issued. Note that W. Henry was previously married to Mary's sister, Morning Carane (Mourning Catherine), which indicates Morning Carane had died sometime before. 6 7

At pages 46-48 is a synopsis of the Carter Bible based on a viewing by at least one of the authors. The Bible, published in 1853, was originally owned and maintained by Sarah Elizabeth Carter Strong, wife of Samuel Clinton Strong. The Bible was passed down to Sarah Ann Strong White, then to Katie White McDonald, then to Kathryn McDonald Gardner of Bethel Park, PA, who was reported to be the Bible's owner at the time of the book's publication. The date of publication appears to be uncertain, per the question mark in the FHLC. This source and the information contained therein was provided by James L.
