Notes for James Riley & Martha A. (Family)
Early Garrard Co. Marriage Records, compiled by Bill & Kathy Vockery, contains the summary “James K. Brown married Martha Ann Farley; bond date 8 Dec 1851; Bond #1076; Return date 8 Dec 1851; married by Burdett Kemper, Bapt.”
The K is probably a transcription error for R.
This family is entered into my database because their daughter Osee is the primary evidence that the John Farlee from Garrard Co., Ky, is the same one who married Arzelda Ellen Ferrand in Putnam Co., Indiana. John is a common name, but Osee isn’t.
