  • Notes: 

  • Marriage records for Robert Comly and Lydia Atkinson disagree on the date and location of the marriage. Quaker Meeting records in Philadelphia give the date and location as 29 OCT 1869 in Mullica Hill, New Jersey which is in Gloucester County. New Jersey marriage records give 28 OCT 1869 in Pilesgrove, Salem County, New Jersey. The Philadelphia records were created decades after the event so the New Jersey records should be given preference over the Philadelphia records.
