Marriage

Married in KY, moved to North MO and raised a family and died.

Bill Huckaby has the wife of William Huckaby to be Rebecca Bridges and their marriage date as Jan 14, 1811 in Barren Co., KY. I'm not sure which one is correct. (Note: The Sandi Goren papers give the marriage record date of Jan 14, 1811)
