Hi Shirley:
It has been a long time---
According to my family group sheets I see the problem you have suggested:
LEVI LIGGETT b. 19 Feb 1800 married ELIZABETH SWAN B. 7 Jan 1805.
I have seven children listed, six of which were born before the marriage date of 27 Jan 1843 Carroll Co. OH
1. JOHN LIGGETT b. 1829 m. MARY ANN HOUSE 7 Oct 1851
2. REBECCA LIGGETT b. 1831
3. JOSUAH LIGGETT b. 1835 m. MINERVA ?
4. WILLIAM D. LIGGETT b. 1836 m. HANNAH FOWLER 4 Aug 1864
5. ELLEN LIGGETT b.1838
6. ELIZABETH A. LIGGETT b. 1842
7. AMANA LIGGETT b. 1848
I have no record of LEVI LIGGET b. 1800 being married before ELIZABETH SWAN but I guess there is a chance he was married before.Seems pretty unlikely that they would have six children BEFORE they got married doesn't it ???
Their ages at time of marriage to each other would suggest the possibility of both having been married prior to their marriage to each other.
The only other LEVI LIGGETT I have a family group sheet on is LEVI LIGGETT b. 1825 in VA who married REBECCA ANN NEELY
b. 1825 in VA married 17 Feb 1849 so they could not possibly be the parents of JOHN LIGGET b. 1829
Sorry I could not be of any help to you but if you find the solution I would certainly appreciate the information.
