Subject: Fwd: Soloman Legare/Sarah Lining marriage (1785) From: Edward L. Manigault Date: March 18, 2000 List: Can anyone assist Greg Legare and me with the problem discussed in the communications (below) which point out the supposed (Nov. 10, 1785) date of marriage of Sarah Lining (1741-1805) and Soloman Legare (1727-1779) being after his death date. Sorry for the details included, but they help to understand our thinking to date. Edward Greg: > >Thanks for your quick reply. I do agree with your estimation of the >situation about time delay before remarrying.
