Hi, I will remove that Apphia as spouse since you know she wasn't married to him. Thank you. Teresa

I did not enter Aphia as wife to Walter Colquitt. My husband is related to Nancy and Walter's son Alfred

Teresa Downey, I have no idea how to reply on your page, but I did not enter Aphia as wife of Walter Colquitt.

Please see Fauntleroy-122. That profile has exact same spouse and marriage date as this one.

They look like they are two different people so the marriage date is wrong on one. Can you please look into this? Thank you, Teresa (wikitree Arborist).
