      Identified as Rich'd P. McReynolds, 38, b. Indiana, res. Doddridge Co, son of John & Maria C. McReynolds, occupation merchant, farmer & surveyor; and Elizabeth Stewart, 26, b. & res. in Tyler Co, dau of Noble & (blank) Stewart. Married Mar 4 1860 in Tyler County.
      (NOTE: Location of husband's birthplace is unclear. All other entries on the ledger-style marriage record indicate the county and state of birth. The 1850 Census also lists his birthplace as Indiana. But since his birthplace is given in the 1860 Census as Pennsylvania, it is possible that he was actualy born in Indiana County, Pennsylvania.)
