  Family	Demaris Ann BAILEY,   b. 3 Aug 1821   d. 15 Sep 1849, Greensville Co, VA (Age 28 years)
  Marriage	30 Jun 1841  [3]
  	The couple was married by Elder Josiah Clanton Bailey, Baptist minister and brother of the bride, on 30 June 1841.
  Notes	Damaris' 13 December 1849 obituary states that she left "a husband and three children". The 1850 census, however, enumerates James as living alone in Sussex County, Virginia. The 1850 census enumerates in Greensville County, Virginia, Henry(63) & Mary(57) Allen, with 6 children. The 3 younger are 8, 5 & 3. Could these be their grandchildren, the children of their son(?) James M. Allen, who was living alone in Sussex County?
