Spouse Birth Year: abt 1843; Spouse Residence: Owsley; Marriage Date: 15 Sep 1858; Marriage Location: Breathitt; County of Record: Breathitt." The following information was transcribed from the actual document: "Groom: Date of Marriage: September 15, 1858, Name: Washington Hollon, Residence: Breathitt County, Age: 18, Condition: Single, Place of birth: Breathitt County; Bride: Name: Rebecca Baker, Residence: Owsley County, Age: 15, single, Place of birth: Lee County, Virginia, Remarks: living on Holly." The other records below indicate they were married in Owsley County. This could simply be due to it being recorded in Breathitt County, and the ceremony performed in Owsley.
