Dear listers,
I am afraid Marybeth gives me too much credence in the above statement. I merely
said there are no marriage records in Dr. Egle's note; apparently the good doctor
could not find any in 1894. Dr. Wylie in his history of the church, referenced by
Joe, does list some marriages associated with the church, mostly pastors and the
families of pastors. It would seem that if any other records exist, they didn't
have them at their disposal in 1894.

Perhaps someone will take up the challenge to research Rocky Spring at the
Presbyterian Historical Society...maybe even me....although I can't say when I'm
going to get down there to do it.

Bill
