Notes: Marriage (Laura F. Poindexter):

Both single. His marriage record transcription shows he born 1868, but the 1900 census says July 1871. Since the marriage record says she born in 1868, it may be that Aaron indicated he was older than he was (speculation only). The 1900 census was taken in June and he married in October.

       Spouse: Ivena T. Minter (1898-1973)
         Marr: Dec 26, 1918 - Henry Co., VA



Notes: Marriage (James William Patterson):

Their marriage is recorded in the Henry County Virginia Marriage Register, Book 2, pg. 2, date of Marriage 9 July 1893: J.W. Patterson, white, 43, widowed, born Henry Co., Va., S/o __& C. Patterson, laborer, married Rhody Payne, white, 34, widowed, born Henry County, Va. parents unknown, Marr. by A.L. Moore.

Note: The 1880 census clearly names her as Mary Kellam, and with James listed with Kellam step-children in the 1900 census, this is consistent, except that his wife's name in the 1900 census is clearly Jennie, 43, born Jun 1857, married 6-years, and 3-of-3 children living. However, their Henry County Virginia marr. reg. trans. her name is Rhoda, 34, married in 1893, or born about 1859. The 1893 marriage date is also consistent with the 1900 census, so Mary, Jennie, and Rhoda are the same person.
