Were they illiterate (and unable to read a calendar? Apparently some of my relatives were - the proverbial hicks from the sticks in Kentucky...)Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-76729961491640810032013-11-06T13:51:54.101-08:002013-11-06T13:51:54.101-08:00Your comments re:unreliability of reliable sources...Your comments re:unreliability of reliable sources are much to the point. My mother's death certificate is correct to the best of family knowledge except that it says she was widowed, but she was divorced. I think that I was the source of such information as her mother's maiden name, but I would never had stated she was widowed. My husband's family has always, always, always given (and celebrated) his birthday as June 16 and so it is recorded in the family Bible. But when we obtained his birth certificate for S.S. benefits, it shows his birth as June 14. (We still celebrate it on the 16th.)grammakaarinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17952561202543244873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-57737316182739209672013-11-05T19:39:45.280-08:002013-11-05T19:39:45.280-08:00Now, there's a thought--I wonder what Emma'...Now, there's a thought--I wonder what Emma's response was to all this? Even more, did she not know beforehand that this was his reputation? I do wish there was a way to know her side of the story...and her parents' perspective, too.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-84837083896605957292013-11-05T06:07:06.879-08:002013-11-05T06:07:06.879-08:00Three months married...I suppose the responsibilit...Three months married...I suppose the responsibility was too much for him.
