Notes: Marriage (Sarah Jane Robertson):

Both single. LDS mistakenly includes their marriage record transcription in the West Virginia collection; it's a mistake because the details clearly spell out Henry Co., Va., which is correct. As such, I do not include the source information because the source location detail is suspect, and if included it would initially reference a location that is clearly wrong and generate suspicion concerning the details.
