    "The subjects of this sketch werte natives of Hardy County, Virginia. The year of 1818 found them quite advanced in years, and parents of two sons and two daughters, grown to manhood and womanhood...their children (were) Adam, Michael, Sarah and Elizabeth. At this time, Sarah was the wife of John Shirk, also a native of Hardy County, and their eldest child, Aaron, who was already eight years old. In the same country, at this time, were the family of Moricia Baughan, natives of South Carolina, in which family a brother and sister married into the family of Isaac Brake... Occurences of this kind, in which a brother and sister of one family would marry a brother and sister of another family became quite common, as in the case of Polly Shirk, a sister of John Shirk becoming the the wife of Michael Brake: the children of such contracting parties becoming doubly related."
