Hi Betty O. Prof. Terry Alford was the first to find the marriage Certf. in a Church Book. After that research was easier. If you want to fill us in, the Bride's name was Lucy Johnson. Her first Husband was Lt. Edgar Macon. (Died at 1st Manassas). I am happier with more names of people involved involved, it helps to confirm the data. A death certif. would be a better find. Keep an eye pealed for news of a illness spreading in town. Since the two (Charles and son) disappeared together. I checked moves to South America and Egypt - no finds.
She reverted to using her Macon name, which sort of suggests a death of the spouse.
PS. A new man reporting for duty on a ship - requests permission to board - steps aboard, comes to attention, salutes the Flag at the stern, turns and salutes the Officer of the deck, And signs in
I -salute aft----salute the Officer --and sign in
I'm looking forward to a pleasant cruise.

If you want, I can go over to the Library of Virginia (across the street from my office) and look up the marriage certificate, etc.

My mother's family are all from Manchester, south side of the James River (then a separate city from Richmond and annexed in 1910.)

Just let me know and I can check on any records for you -

I'm so glad that you've joined our Forum, John - we've missed you!!
