Debbie-thank you for answering my query.I think you have my Raleigh, but the "preponderance of evidence" leads to this Raleigh NOT being the one who mar Tabitha Anderson 17 Jul 1856.In 1856 Raleigh, b 1828 was mar to Eliza J. (Riggs?) and had 2 children by that time.They are enumerated in the 1860 Census, Haw.Co,TN., with 4 children, including my Grfa.John W.Rolly with some of same children enum. in 1870, Hw.Co,Tn with 2nd wife, Rebecca (E. Lane).
The Raleigh who mar Tabitha in 1856, appear in 1870 Hw.Co.,census, still married.
in 1860 census, Raleigh b 1828 and Eliza J. were living Hw.Co near his par. Elisha and Frances "Fanny" also other children of E. & F.-James Kendrick, Stokely, Samuel K.Sister Lucinda still with par.Elisha listed all of these (and more) children in his family bible. Thank you again, for answering. Margaret Dodson Findley
