Izola Martha Mills marriage certificate/note to Mr. Hall

[Steve]

I have a copy of the 1869 Baltimore marriage record. My guess is the marriage, or marriage record, might have been for Rosalie Booth's sake by using the surname "Booth" to bolster Martha's claim about Booth being the father of two of her children. The 1871 Boston marriage record was created to prevent a fraud investigation by the pension examiners. If the examiners had looked more closely at the application they would've figured out that it was impossible for Bellows Sr. to have been the father of Ogarita, since he was at sea during Martha's entire pregnancy.
