Martin, age 23, first marriage, farmer, residence Morehead, born in and mother born in Rowan Co., father born in Floyd Co., to Ida B.

Ida’s surname on the return is given as Clark. If this is not just a clerical error, then it may be the surname of her first husband. Her first marriage was probably in Elliott Co., as there is no prior marriage for her recorded in Rowan.
