Notes for Robert “Bob” H. & Mary A. (Family)
Rowan Co., Ky marriage book 9, p. 188, records license issued on 28 Feb 1916 for Robert Howard, age 35, widowed, born in and resident of Elliott Co., Ky, parents Green & Annie Howard, to Mary A. Black, age 18, single, born in and resident of Rowan Co., Ky, parents Wm & Lena Jane Black.
This book does not include the ministers’ returns, but Dewie Black’s family files give their marriage date as 10 Mar 1917. Since it is very unlikely that they hung on to the license for nearly a year before marrying, most likely the marriage date was 10 Mar 1916.
