EARLY MARRIAGES

For sometime prior to the organization of the county, and for many years afterwards, Eneas McCALLISTER , father of the lamented 'Squire John E.

In 1800 he married Captain Daniel McBRIDE and Mary BENNETT , Jacob SPRINKLE and Axy McLEAN , Moses STEGALL (whose first wife was brutally murdered by Big and Little HARPE , and he himself afterwards killed) and Sally VANE . In 1804 he married Dr. Adam RANKIN and Haney GAMBLE .
