havelately
arisen between Dreddie and Amy, they agreed to live separate and
apartfrom
from each other,..." The agreement was recorded on 5 Apr 1856,

Amy Taylor & Etheldred Wallace were probably md at Martin Co,
NC.Marriage
records there have been destroyed.

ofone
daughter (Martha Agnes).
Note: The early Archive LDS FGS record states that Etheldred
wasmarried to

Etheldred was definitely married to "Amy" not Temperance.
