| Marriage | Both documents show that a Robert F Snow married Nancy J Pruitt in 1871. These documents are transcriptions of transcriptions and I believe have an error. The surname "Shaw" could easily be misinterpreted as "Snow" with a few extraneous pen strokes. Other documents show that Robert F Shaw was married to Nancy J Pruitt and those documents clearly indicate "Shaw".
In the second document, the actual index line item vaguely shows that their marriage document is on Page 120; however, Pages 119/120 (along with 22 other pages) are missing from the original document. Since the Marriages on Pages 118 and 121 span the March 1871 to July 1871 timeframe, the transcribers rightly assumed that the marriage date was sometime in 1871.
