Good point, Scott. About 35 years ago, two Surratt Society members did an extensive study on the alleged "union" between Martha and JWB. Both of the members are from Rhode Island and searched hither, thither, and yon for proof of a marriage - to no avail. That's not to say that there wasn't a dalliance, but evidence just wasn't there to even confirm that. The name of the book is The Elusive Booths of Burrillville.
