Martin Riley Vincent and Lucy Breedlove Marriage Record

Whew!  After searching for a while I was able to find the marriage record for Martin Riley Vincent and Lucy Johnson Breedlove.  I knew at some point it would be available somewhere!  I found it at Family Search.  I have transcribed it below.

There are some questions raised with this record.  The most glaring goes back to information presented to me by family that Martin Riley’s last name was originally “Vinson”.  As you can see below, he signed his named “Martin Riley Vinson”, not “Vincent”.  Another question raised is Lucy’s mother’s name.  By all records her mother is listed as Margaret Stringer.  Below her mother’s name is listed as “Kate”.  I have seen people who have her mother named as “Margaret K Stringer”.  So it’s possible that her mother may have gone by Kate, rather than Margaret or a variation.
