P. Husk, age 22, b. Calhoun Co, resident of Roane Co, son of John Husk; and Francine Fowler, age 20, dau of James & Susanna Fowler. Ceremony held Sep 25 1893. We previously had Nathaniel's birth as 1870 in Roane Co (source Fred Spuhler), but marriage record information casts some doubt on that. Nonetheless, the Calhoun birthplace does not mesh with other information on this family and is considered suspect. His birthplace is probably Roane Co, the same as his siblings immediately before and after him. (14) Roane County WV Deaths 1856-1900, Wes Cochran, 2515 10th Ave, Parkersburg, WV 26101.
