Hi Pam:

Something doesn't add up here, if this is the right marriage.
.............................................
"Eliza Jane Junkins, 21, S, of GCMD, married M. J. Sollars, 24, S, of Mineral Co.
WV, on May 12, 1875"
Courtesy Pat Thompson.

(She would have been born 1854; he in 1851)
..................................................
Note "M. J." Sollars in the marriage record; as well as the difference in the
year of birth.

Everyone in Garrett County is a cousin to everyone else, I think. While marriages
between first cousins aren't too common, you do find them now and then.
