In the presence of
DANIEL STARK
H. H. SAMUELS
JACOB GUNTERMAN

Recorded 21 April 1828 Bullitt Co. KY Court

a MARY ANN HAMILTON married JACOB HUFFMAN 21 Sep 1831 - probably this widow?

BETSY HAMBLETON m. JACOB TRISLER 2 Dec 1808 in Jessamine Co. KY 
POLLY HAMILTON m. JOSEPH CROW 13 Feb 1819 Nelson Co. KY 

Since the clerk used no punctuation I could not tell for certain how many  kids there 
are here - assuming no middle names were given it looks like  9.

Then again FRANCES JAMES could be a daughter with her married last name.  This is why 
I have gone to putting all names in caps in a document.  I just can’t always tell what 
is a last name and what is a given name and am tired of having those Tommy Lee WRIGHT 
 (Tommy LEEWIGHT) moments
