Can anyone help discern whether this man is Thomas K. HOYLE (as he seems to be in the 1870 Wake Co, NC census) or Thomas K. HOWLE, as Brent Holcomb's Wake Co NC marriage transcriptions seem to indicate.
Something is strange here..
The NC census index shows the family as that of Thomas K. HOYLE, and indeed, the enumeration seems to look like "Hoyle"...
1870, St Mary's Township, (pg 346 stamped/ 48 hand numbered)
#351/353: HOYLE, Thomas K, 56, white, farmer; rl est val 10000; pers val 500; born NC
----, Malinda, 56; keeping house; born NC
----, Thomas, 25; farm laborer; born NC
----, Jullsa(?), 20, (female); at home; born NC
----, Iola, 2, born NC
BLAKE, Malinda, 23, at home, born NC
next door in household #356/352 was the family of William POOLE, age 70; a farmer with rl est valuation of 16000; pers val 1400; also born NC, along with some household members with the surname "Yarborough", and one that looks like Eliza HOYLE(?) ...or possibly HOPE, age 30.
Brent Holcomb's Wake Co marriage transcriptions show two marriages for the name Thomas K. HOWLE (no marriages listed at all for Hoyle)...
Howle, Thos K. & Malinda GIFFIN; 14 July 1857; O.L. Burch, bm;
Howle, Thomas K. & Malinda BLAKE, 10 Aug 1860; William R. Blake, bm; m 20 Aug 1860 by Will R. Poole, JP
What's odd here is that the marriage of a Thomas K. Howle to Malinda BLAKE is listed as 1860...
yet the 1870 census seems to indicate Malinda Blake is living in the household of a Thomas K. Hoyle/Howle (apparently married to a Malinda...would this be Malinda Giffin?)...and has a son, Thomas in the household.(did he marry Malinda Blake?....but this is the 1870 census!)
Could the date of the marriage bond have been erroneously transcribed?
Could there be yet a third marriage of a Thomas K. HOWLE/ or Hoyle? to a Malinda?
And was the surname "Howle," as Holcomb's transcriptions show....or was it "Hoyle," as it _seems_ to be in the census?
Help!
