Comments

It is possible but I cannot find evidence to support it.  One researcher says that Margaret, his first wife, died in 1820.  Another says that Fanny married 6 Aug 1812.  If these facts are correct, I doubt that he was married to both but, again, I have no concrete evidence that either date is correct.
