I just wanted to clarify my last posting about the couple getting their license in GA and being married in MS the next day. To those who don't know what I meant by that, I have an ancestor(Thos. Crockett) that stated on his military records that he was born in GA in 1812. However, there is other evidence that seems to show that he lived in TN in the early 1830s and I am the one speculating that he may have been born in TN, but HE said GA. I don't know if people at that time referred to that area as GA, since TN and other states down south were very new to the union then. There is a map in the Birmingham Library, DRAWN UP in 1790 (as opposed to a map made recently OF 1790). It shows GA as being everything west of it. It does name TX, LA, and FL,which weren't states yet either. Anyone know about this? Are there other 'multiple' southern state issues?
