Margie:

Yes, I think you are most likely correct, but I will wait a little before
making the change. For now, I will simply put in a "note of question" with
the suggested 1765 date. I still hope someone out there will have an
original or copy of a document with the correct date. They were supposedly
married in Charleston, but that may mean anywhere in the general area. I
have checked the St. James Santee book and no luck there.

Her father, Dr. John, was dead before her wedding, whichever date is
correct, but her mother, Sarah Hill, may have still lived at Hillsboro
plantation.

Thank you for taking the time to send the note.

Edward

 if Soloman IV d. 1779, he couldn't have married Sarah Lining on the date
published (Nov. 10, 1785). Maybe a typo and it was really 1775, 0r 1765?
