      Identified as Benjamin Marks, age 21y 2m 6d, b. & res. in Harrison Co, son of Benjamin & Mary Marks; and Sarah Ann Brohard, 22, b. & res. in Harrison Co, dau of Christopher & Sarah A. Brohard. Married Jun 12 1864 in Harrison County.
      (NOTE: Husband's obituary incorrectly states marriage date as Jun 12 1865. Husband's birthplace given in his obituary as Barbour County. In light of this marriage record, it is likely that he was born in the part of Harrison County that later became present-day Barbour County. The same could also hold true for the wife's birthplace.)
