Name and Date corrections: Marriages 1834-1835 (Simmons, not Sommers)

There are two errors in the second marriage listed.  It should 
read Jane Harvey married James SIMMONS not SOMMERS and the date should 
be Dec. 24, 1832 not Dec. 2, 1833. I am a gg grand daughter of James 
and I have the original wedding bond in my possession.  After seeing 
this listing on the net I went into the Adair County Court Clerk's 
office and showed her the original bond.  She had the correction 
written on the original entry and also put a copy of the bond into 
the record book.

My mother's maiden name was Simmons (great grand-daughter of 
James and Jane) and she will be 91 years old in December.  It would 
please her if this matter could be cleared up as soon as possible.  
Anyone researching the Simmons name on the net could not be sure that 
this should be James Simmons since both name and date are wrong.
