Acklin Not Vawter


An excerpt from the Vawter Family Organization's newsletter:

The marriage record below is incorrect. Further research has shown this to be James V. Achlin [Acklin] and not James Vawter. Wm. & Mary Quarterly Vol. 7 Series 2 1927... .

Cumberland Co., VA, Marriage Bonds by William Shepard.
Jas. Vawter & Mildred D. Lee, Appr. by father, Charles Lee 11 Oct 1815.
Charles Lee by statement in the marriage bond of dau. Mildred Dabbs Lee to James V. Achen 11 Oct 1815. Surety Edmund P. Lee. Test: Sarah Guthrey Lee, signatures on bond, James V. Achen. “My daughter, Mildred Dabbs Lee wishes to change her situation, she is of lawful age and has my consent to marry Jas. V. Achen”.

From  Franklin County, Tennessee: Wills, 1808-1876 & Deeds, 1801-1840 (most likely regarding the same Charles Lee family):

The information below was found on this message board page:


Sarah Guthrey (Guthrie) Lee (the Guthrey spelling is from the "A Weaving" book), daughter of John Lee, Sr, who had the title "Captain" and who married Susannah Guthrie in 1769 and I have a note about his will being recorded in 1818.
