Happy Anniversary Enoch & Minerva

October 11^th, (or is it October 15^th?) 1843

<Kentucky, U.S., County Marriage Records, 1783-1965 for Enoch Fergate – Crop.jpg>

Today, I remember my third great-grandparents, Enoch and Minerva (Toliver) Mannin. They were married in October 1843 in Morgan County, Kentucky.

Their marriage record is one of the more confounding records I’ve encountered. Most researchers, including me, believe that the record for “Enoch Fugate” and “Patsey Tolliver” is the record of their marriage. Enoch Mannin’s mother was Rachel Fugate (later Mannin), so, understandably, Fugate could have been his middle name. “Patsey” doesn’t appear as a given name for Minerva in any other place that I’ve encountered, but the record has both “Patsey” and “Minerva” as the bride. Also, the index line indicates the marriage date as 11 October, but the written text indicates Joseph Nickells performed the ceremony on the 15^th. Consequently, some researchers indicate their marriage on the 11^th and others on the 15^th. I haven’t found corroborating evidence for either date so far.

Because of this record, I’ve added a nickname for Minerva of “Patsey” and updated their marriage date to “Between 11 and 15 October 1843″ in my records.
