Marion Co, son of Elias & Hannah; and Mary Jane Bee, 21, b. Preston Co, res. Doddridge Co, dau of Jonathan & Martha. Married Feb 23 1865. (Bride's age is at variance with age indicated in census. It is possible that there was an effort to minimize the age difference between the two parties.) Event Notes Note (1) The deaths of Asa Bee and his wife before June 1850 are presumed, based on their absences from the 1850 Census, with their two sons appearing in other households in that census and in the 1860 Census as well. Note (2) Birth date on headstone is 1828, which is inconsistent with her age in census and other records. The death date on her headstone appears to be 1895, but is not clear and could actually be 1893.
