Shadrack H. Gaither, b. 7 Oct 1791, Alabama , d. 3 Apr 1849 (Age 57 years) |
Married |
14 Sep 1826 |
Walton County, Georgia [1, 2, 3] |
In the actual marriage license of Shadrack and Nancy, she is listed as being Nancy Willingham. However, I believe this is an error of the scribe who wrote out the license. The bride immediately before their marriage was a Willingham and the JP who performed the service was a Willingham. Since I have been able to trace Nancy through each subsequent census and have tied her into the children that she and Shadrack had and on to her cemetery plot naming her as Nancy Gaither, I don't think there is any doubt that the entry of "Willingham" was erroneous.
In addition to the above error of the name, there may have been an error in the date of the marriage stated to be in Sept 1826. The marriage record above that one was in 1827 which may indicate that Nancy's marriage was after that one. Also, Jesse Hardy did not die until 1827 which would not have left a conflict for the remarriage. Jesse's will was dated January 1827. The scribe who wrote the marriage license noted that he entered the data on the 3rd of Sept 1828. It could be that his memory or his notes of what he was to write had failed him resulting in the error in the name and date. – Marvin E. Owen [3]
