Children

Notes: Marriage (Amanda F. Porter):

Since Issac is listed as single in the household of his parents on the date of the 1850 census (Oct. 18, 1850), then they were married sometime after this date. Also, since their eldest son is age 9 in the 1860 census, taken June 1860, then they were probably married as early as late October 1850, and as late as May 1851.

Notes: Marriage (Albert Green Haynes):

Both single, he born Henry Co., Va. & she Va. Their marr. rec. is a transcription showing marr. on Aug. 28, 1927 in Henry Co., Va., but their orig. div. rec. shows marriage on Aug. 26, 1926 in Henry Co., Va., A 6 could be mistaken for an 8, thus, but 1927 could not be mistaken for 1926 (totally different shape). Also, their 1st child Louise would have been born 2-years after their marriage if the 1926 date is true (unlikely). Div. Martinsville, Va.
