Hi Christina,
I can give you some good news. I have the resource of 1804-1872 Rutherford County Marriages book here at the library in Martin and I found the marriage of M. L. Ring to Letty M. Benson on 3 Dec. 1856 recorded on page 136. I hope that will give you the confirmation that you need. Thomas Ring to Nancy G. McCabe on 6 Aug. 1836, James T. Woodfruff to Lucretia E. Ring on 5 Nov. 1853, and Joseph F. Ring to Levetha Burks on 6 Nov. 1854 were also included on that page. I felt that I had hit the jack pot that day when I found these family marriages. Let us know when you do come in again. Yes, the information would be great to have. Sometimes having family info leads you in the right direction to better find info on a particular individual.
I am like you and have found only one wife for Layfette and feel that this is correct. But I found her as Letty M.born in 1841 in TN, and Mary L. Benson born 15 Jun. 1852 Readyville, Rutherford co., Tn. at the Family Search.org website. So I guess some futher reseach needs to be conducted to clarify the Mary/Matilda mystery. They did not make this easy for us, did they?I'll send my address to you at your email. Thanks for everything. Darlene
