I posted this marriage because I was hope to get some responses, but you are not reading the marriage record. Look at the how much money is being paid. Is that word Indentured? Please tell me what you think is reads? Also one of the options I am pondering and have been for months is William is an runaway Indentured servant or knew Margaret from where she was serving/working off her contract. $1500 is a lot of money those are the two hints from this record. I have been full time trying to prove this is a valid marriage but Feb 2024 has pasted and still no leads for Margaret Williams nor William Cain. I have built a pretty big data base for the Cain/Cane/Kain/Kane/MacCain/MacCane/Maclain/McCain/McCane/McKain/McKane/ Cann/.McCann/McKine/Cean/Keen/Kean/McKeenMcKeanKeene/McKeene Census, Tax, marriages, land/deed/grants, records. Just started a william Cain folder and it will grow. I was hoping my comment explained it was not verified with another record, the marriage. Can say I am positive'cause I thought I was right only to be proven wong, ten fold. If I caused you lost time, I can take it down, or if it needs better comments please edit or past on your thoughts.
I did a lot of digging today through Greene County, Tennessee records and records of surrounding counties and was unable to find any other records of this couple between 1790 and 1810.
