Jennings and Lizzie were
married 14 March 1872. The officiating minister was John C Smith. The
‘certificate to obtain a marriage license’ lists his parent as Mary Lane and
her parents as Benjamin and Nancy Stevens. Jennings is 22 years of age and is a
farmer residing in Pittsylvania County. Lizzie is 20 years old and resides in
Halifax County.
Lane is also spelled Layne
by several descendants. And Stephens was spelled Stevens by some descendents.
There are 33 grandchildren listed, but the list is far from being complete. A
letter from my grandmother Meg Layne to my grandfather Lin Waller mentions her
sister Hommie.
