one of the researchers guessed the location of the marriage based on a known
location of a later event. For example, a child was born in Twiggs, so they
typed that in for the marriage location too. The familysearch info is not
verified, it's just what people like you and I have come up with. Some
people are less diligent than other about verifying all of their data, and
these things happen. Dates also tend to get mangled when they travel by
means other than the original documents.
