I will scan the following and send you, I send in JPEG: William Howard's marriage record; 2 of Celia's daughter's marriages and permissions; Celia--David P'simer bond; Rause Lovely bond.

I also have not yet deleted a couple of early Knox tax lists which show Lovely near the Howards. They are quite long but interesting.

That girl's name was Arty, it is spelled incorrectly in the 1860 census. There is as yet no proof that she belonged to Celia, but Celia was a given name used in that line. It is only circumstantial evidence, not proof. Some of us think she is and others disagree. No one knows for certain and all the old folk who could tell us are now gone. Elisabeth

Another letter came from Russell Wireman, 116 So. Broad St., Hellam, PA 17406 about Elmore Smith Whitaker who was born in 1844 and his 2nd wife Martha Rebecca Hurt. They were the parents of Forest Rose Mae Whitaker who married Jake Wireman.
Smith was first married to Nancy Howard, the dau of Samuel Howard and Delana Jones. We have his second wife listed as a Mary Risner which is erroneous. Those of you who have volume 5 of the Legends in Blue and Gray Civil War book need to use some "white-out" on page 1823. This Mary Risner did marry a Smith Whitaker but he was the son of Morgan Whitaker and Susan Hale.
Martha Rebecca Hurt b. 1869 first married Eli Allen. She was the dau of Creed F. Hurt b. 1837 and married in 1861 to Sarah Williamson b. 1842, dau of Harmon Williamson, Jr. b. 1816. Harmon Jr. m. in 1830 to Ann Bevins b. 1817, dau of Thomas Bevins. Harmon was the son of John Williamson, all found in Pike Co. KY.
Creed Hurt was the son of Absolem Hurt b. 1813 Washington Co. VA and m. 2nd to Elizabeth Bevins b. 1815, dau of John Bevins. He m. 1. to Ann Samples in 1823, the dau of William Samples and Nancy Wilson. Absolem was the son of Garland Hurt and Marteshia Thurston.
Elmore Smith Whitaker was the son of Johnson Whitaker b. 1792 and Susanna Howard/Arnett, a dau of Celia Howard.
