Notes for Leslie Cleveland & Pearlie C. (Family)
Morgan Co., Ky marriage records list the marriage on 10 May 1906 of Leslie C. Peyton and Pearlie Lewis.
Be careful not to confuse this couple with Leslie Peyton born 8 Dec 1887, son of David Harrison Peyton and Sarah Jane Hall, who married Lenna Pearl Lewis born 27 Nov 1893, daughter of Leander Lewis and Mary Genetta “Nettie” Brown. (I am related to the other Leslie Peyton on the Hall side and to his wife on the Brown side. I’m not related to this Leslie and Pearlie at all, but since their names and ages are so similar, I want to keep both couples in my database to help other researchers tell them apart.)
