Notes: Marriage (Susie Anna Bray):
Oddly, there are to marriage transcriptions for them, the first of Dec. 21, 1929 in Pittsylvania Co., Va., and the next for Oct. 20, 1930 in Henry Co., Va. The parents are the same, but maybe the transcriber made a mistake, but the details aren't similar, so there appears to be some reason they remarred each other 10 months after the first time, in a different county; the counties border each other. It could also be that she was underage, being on 14 yrs., 2-mos., on Dec. 21, 1929, so maybe they had to marry again later, and did so in another county so as not to raise attention to the authorities. I chose 1930 as the probable legal marriage date.
