The attachment states, "Hill C Daugherty and ____nant McCuistion was married 27 of November 1821 [All other records indicate 1827]" This information is said to have come from the Daugherty - McCuistion Family Bible.
Found some things at the library.... Wanted you to have a copy.. Have you seen the story about Hill C. Daugherty (husb of Catherine Tennant McCuistion) and the wagon train west to California? From a newspaper article written in 1907 in California.
Thanks, Gayle Foster
