The short lived marriage between my great-great grandparents is difficult to describe.
In fact, if there was any knowledge of these people or their bitter history, it was never related to me or any of my cousins....until the last few
years, we never even knew their names. All I can do here is to list the various letters, documents, etc., to offer a peek into their relationship, the
visitor will have to form their own opinion.
