Given under my hand, as Ordinary for the County aforesaid this twenty second day of April 1858. Quinea O'Neal Ordinary I hereby certify that Thomas J. Edwards and Mary J. Jarrett were joined together in the Holy Bond of Matrimony by me on the 22nd day of April 1858. Little B. Taylor JP Additional Comments: On April 22, 1858, Thomas J. Edwards married a girl from the Portwood farm next door, Mary Jane Portwood Jarrett. Mary Jane was born on March 18, 1832 and died on October 3, 1916. She had been married previously to George W. Jarrett, who, according to the family Bible, "departed this life on Nov. the 14, A. D. 1857." Thomas J. married Mary Jane a little more than five months later, so he didn't waste much time. The record of their marriage, performed by Justice of the Peace Littleton B. Taylor,is in Marriage Book A, p. 214.
