NOTE - The index to this record originally contained multiple spelling error and other mistakes mostly because the handwriting on the register is very difficult to read. In addition, the groom's name was entered on the register as "William Lightfoot" instead of the expected "King Millard Lightfoot". His mother's name was entered and "Mandy or Mande Yoho" instead of the expected Mary Amandy Yoha. Even the name of the bride has some uncertainty because her surname is almost impossible to read. Some indexes show it as Whalen where other may show Wheadon or Whedon.
