I just want to comment on the author listing that is being given, and
apparently asked for by Legacy. The State and County are not - and never
were - the author of any US Federal Census. The federal government
authorized the taking of the census - in fact, it is mandated in the US
Constitution.
Maybe the first marriage was annulled for some reason.
