Family 1 Sarah Morgan, b. ca 1711, Cecil Co, Maryland, British America d. prob 9 Nov 1733, Cecil Co, Maryland, British America (Age 22 years) Marriage 4 Sep 1731 Cecil Co, Maryland, British America - In a 25 Jan 1990 letter, Craig wrote that "with the assistance of Howard G. Henry of North East MD (a trustee of the church), I arranged to have the original removed from the bank vault so that we could inspect it. The 'original' is a bound book of pages (not numbered), entitled St. Mary Annes Parish Register, 1727-1799. Mr. Henry explained that the pages had been loose and were disintegrating when he arranged to have them laminated and bound. All of the entries are in the same handwriting, suggesting that they had been copied by someone in the 19th century from earlier records. Portions of pages were missing, particularly at the edges. The three references to Moses Justice and his wives appear on the back of the eighth sheet. On all three entries, the first three digits of the year are missing." In Lucy Harrison's 1891 copy of the records of St. Mary Ann's (North Elk) Parish, she analyzed the records as, "The fourth digit of the year in which Moses Justice married Sarah Morgan is clearly a '1', not a '7'." Mr. Craig said, "Mr. Henry agreed with my reading of this number. It should be noted that the tear on the edge of the page might arguably have removed the 'flag' on the '7.' However, we did not think so. The scribe of the document made the number '1' with a shorter stroke than he wrote the number '7' and the number '1' beside the Morgan marriage corresponded with other '1s' on the page in length and was not as deep as the '7s' on the page. In addition, the burial of Sarah Justice on 10 Nov 1733 would tend to confirm that Moses Justice's marriage to Sarah Morgan occurred prior to that date." (1) Peter Stebbins Craig.
