These are non-Howard County questions, but do pertain to eventual Howard Countians and this list has the BEST researchers on this line!
My questions:
What is the source for COLDEN WILLIAMS and MARY SHORT's marriage being 22 March 1787 in Madison County, KY?
I find this marriage in DAR applications, but without sources (so far.)
Madison County was still part of Virginia in 1787.
Colden was in NC in 1782 and in Lancaster County, SC in 1790. What was he doing in Madison county in 1787?

Hi Folks,
I've have several emails from fellow listers, asking why they are getting double postings of my Higbee News articles. The
answer is, if you are subscribed to both the Howard and Randolph county email lists, you will get two copies, one from each list,
because I post to both lists. I do this because the paper covers both counties. If you want to save a little time, when my posts
come through, just check the subject line, and choose which county list you want to read, and delete the other en
THANK YOU TRACI!
The following is probably Charity the daughter of Colden Williams. Charity is found living with her brother Willoughby in 1850
in the Howard county, Census. This might also explain why she never married.

Wish I could give you good info. I have been asking the same questions
since shortly after I was given the info maybe 20 years ago.
My original information came only on one sheet someone sent me (that was
before I knew enought to demand sources - and I still have some problems
there). Most turned out to be correct and so I accepted the rest that I
could not check.
I suspect the date for marriage came from bios of Colden, either of the
