Children

Notes: Marriage (Lillie May Miles):

Marr. Aug. 26, 1894, Robertson Co., Tx., by B.J. Skinner, Min.; Note: The orig. marr. cert. is confusing. Official shows he united them in marr. on Aug. 26, 1894, and the lic. was issued Aug. 22, 1894. But, he then signs "witness my hand" on Aug 27, 1893, and beneath that, "recorded Aug. 28, 1894. 1893 is obviously a mistake.
