Co; and Martha Johnson, 24, b. & res. in Doddridge Co.  Marriage license issued on Oct 13 1896, but there was no 
Minister's Return or Endorsement to show that a wedding took place.  It is noted, however, that the 1900 Census, which 
shows them living together with their children, indicates that they had been married for four years. MR p. 237 :
