Marriage Notes for Thomas Barr and Charlotte Smithers:
Woodbury County Iowa Marriage record states that Thomas and Charlotte were married on January 8, 1879 not January 5, 1875 as previous thought. Thomas and Charlotte were either content on not being married while Nettie was living with them, since she was John Tabor's natural daughter (possibly), or they got married in Minnesota before, but needed an Iowa marriage for the up and coming birth of Hattie 17 days later.
