 Marriage Notes:
There are conflicting sources as to the precise date of marriage. Even the cited source for marriage records is confusing. It appears the marriage license was issued 13 Aug 1848, yet the marriage appears to have been performed by Wm. H. Odell, J. P., on 8 Aug 1848. The John McNew Family Bible lists the date of marriage as 4 Aug 1848.
