Notes: Marriage (Patrick Henry Woodall):

He once wid., she once div. (1st husb. was a Pyrtle). He a farmer. Marr. by C.M. Wales; Div. Pittsylvania Co., Va.; Div. date isn't certain; could be Feb. 6 or 7, both dates clear, but one overtypes the other. Her 1st husb. was a Pyrtle, and from the # previous marriages, her marriage to Woodall was her 2nd, but, their orig. div. cert. names her as Lora Henderson Woodall. It's likely that the clerk wrote Henderson when Lora said Herndon. This is also the death date of his 1st wife. He married Annie Acuff Dove in 1945. Orig. marr. cert. shows he was twice wid. His orig. 2nd marr. cert. shows his age of 44 for a 1937 marr. putting his birth about 1893. His parents of J.H. Woodall and Victoria Wingfield confirm he's the same person, who either understated his age, or it was just a typing error.

Their eldest child Mark Wayne Redd was born May 22, 1963, thus they married before 1963. She would have been 18 then, so a 1962 marriage is probable, but could have been 1960-1962.
