Notes - Marriage Notes for James Simpson and Martha Morgan:
The James Simpson "Family Bible" records show that he married Martha
Ann Pointher (Painter?) on 6 August 1850. There is another marriage
certificate to show that a Martha Morgan was married previously to
Joel Painter in 1846 in St. Clair Co., AL, and that , prior to her
marriage to Joel Painter, Martha's name was Morgan. It appears that
Joel might have died shortly after their marriage, or that the
marriage was somehow dissolved. There are no marriage records found,
to date, for James Simpson and Martha Morgan, and this is likely due
to Martha being required to use her previously married name of Painter
for her marriage to James Simpson. By information on another marriage
certificate, James Simpson and Martha Painter were married on 6 Aug
1850. In the 1850 Census, Martha Morgan is found living in close
proximity to James Simpson. The Census taker has listed Morgan for
Martha's last name, even though at the time, Martha "should" have
listed her married name of Painter. The relationship is not stated
but I would presume her to be the daughter of Orason Morgan, page 112B
dwelling #150. Martha Morgan's birth year was 1831, and her birth
year varies with each census, but has also been listed as 1831. The
children, listed for Martha and James, have their mother's maiden name
as Morgan, not Painter, stated on their death certificates.
