Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)
FOLLOWUP
Were either Jacob and Keziah married prior their union? Their son Sylvestor was born before their (apparent) marriage took place.
A marriage license affidavit is accessible on a FamilySearch database (Marriage records, 1851-1951; index to marriages, 1851-1973, FamilySearch database, DFN 4017741, MFN 2297016, image 279, entry 2). However, other than an affirmation that both are "of age," are not closer than first cousins, and were granted a license on 7 Feb 1854, it contains no useful linformation beyond what is supplied by their marriage record. [marriage-bowersock-spear-1854]
Information from the affidavit is also included on a "form" version of the marriage record, which is not used in this datbase. It is in the same database as the marriage record, but using the path "Noble ⟩ 1851-1871", image 69, p.136, entry 2.) [marriage-bowersock-spear-1854]
