I came across a notation in a collection of articles from TN newspapers (Genealogical Abstracts from TN Newspapers, 1791-1808, Vol. 4, No. 23, p. 73): My wife Sarah Gatlin has left my bed and board without just cause. I am not responsible for any debts incurred by her.
QUESTION: Lazarus Gatlin, Sr.'s wife's name was Sarah but the date of the article was April 1804. Lazarus, Sr. married Alice Vendrick in 1793. Lazarus, Jr. didn't marry Eleanor Little until 1816 at age 31. Could this be Jrs. first wife? What say you?
