nevermind, I read your post in a hurry. You're probably right. You did mean married Elizabeth Reavis in 1822.
I am wondering where Barsilla's middle name of Betts comes from then. I thought maybe it was his mother's maiden name. I think I've found a Barsilla Betts that remained in NC at least until 1880 while my Barzillai Betts Pollard moved to Crockett co TN by 1880.
Barzillai I believe is how it is spelled in the Bible, in the pension records it is spelled Barzillia. I am going with the assumption that it wouldn't be 'ia'. That would give it an incorrect pronunciation.
