  1. Hello!
    My SIL is related to Isaiah Allen Gauntt and Hannah Louisa Lemonyon. We have been unable to find any documentation of their marriage. A couple of trees list their marriage year as 1881 but, again, no documentation. Have you had any luck finding documentation for this marriage? Thanks!

    1. I also have not been able to find their marriage. I found documentation of Clifford Benjamin's birth in 1883, so 1881 is a reasonable estimate if he was their first child, but that's the best I have so far.
