Notes for Isaac & Louisa Jane (Family)
Morgan Co., Ky marriage records list the marriage on 1 June 1899 of Isaac Kannaird and Louisa Thomas, by S. J. Adams at W. J. Phillips’, witnesses Joseph Johnson and John Rose.
By 1910 Louisa had gone back to using the surname Thomas, so the marriage to Isaac Kennard probably did not last long.

Isaac and Louisa had really only been married one year to each other. Perhaps Louisa was adding together the 23 years she was married to Frank Thomas and the one year she was married to Isaac?
