Gladys,
I thank you again for responding , I simply do not so I will write to La
Plata again, the La Plata and Telluride marriages are listed as occuring on
the same day, month and year. I have eliminated the first two James
Bennetts , that you listed below, the Pueble one is an older man and the
couple are colored. the one in Boulder county was still married to a Davina
on 1910, while my grandfather was enumerated as single living in Telluride
in 1910. then in October he married Ali Hudgins. I may investigate the last
two men on your list. Thanks again for responding on this busy season. I
do appreciate it . If I find our anything definate I will let you know.
Ruby
