I have a copy of a marriage license that is signed by John Wild---[maybe
er---hard to read] pastor of the Baptist Church of Victoria. Can you
think of any other Baptist Church in Knox County that would end with
toria? The beginning sure looks like Vic and the end is definitely
toria. Do you know the name of the Pastors who were in the churches that
you mention for that time period?
