clerical error. That entry was made as a ditto mark under the preceding entry in the ledger-style marriage record.
Immediate family (great-granddaughter Diane Nutter, citing Family Bible among other sources) states that he "was born on
Aug 4 1843 on Jim Run branch of Upper Run of Middle Fork, above Harmony Church, near Oxford, in Doddridge Co."
According the grandson Lane Bush Nutter, the marriage date is entered in the Family Bible of Josiah & Elizabeth Nutter
as Jan 30 1868. The ceremony was performed at the S. M. Gaston home by Eli M. Gaston, witnessed by T. E. Nutter & A. M.

Event Notes
Note (1) The 1860 Census shows age as 35, putting birth in about 1825. But the 1870
Census shows his age as 53, putting birth in about 1817, and the 1880 Census
shows his age as 63, also putting birth in about 1817. Don Norman's
"Descendants of Christopher Nutter" reports birth date as 1818, corresponding to
age 74 in death record.
Note (2) The 1860 Census of Doddridge County gives age as 34 (b. ca 1826), born in
Virginia, while the 1870 Census gives age 48 (b. ca 1822), born in Maryland, and
the 1880 Census gives age 60 (b. ca 1820), born in Maryland. Her death record
in May 1892 gives age as 63 (b. ca 1829), born in Barbour Co; both age and
birthplace are considered incorrect. Brad Spiker specifies birthdate as Nov 16
1821. Don Norman, in "The Descendants of Josiah Hart," reports birth as ca
1828, probably based on her death record.
Note (3) Identified in father's obituary as Mrs. Elizabeth L. Nutter. Her name has
also appeared as Lucinda Elizabeth Gaston, although her own family Bible with
husband Josiah Porter Nutter identifies her as Elizabeth Lucinda. (per Lane
Bush Nutter, grandson)
