"Evidence Why Record Proof of Marriage Cannot be Adduced"

State of Kentucky, County of Wayne, SS

On this 15 day of July in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty four personally appeared before me the subscriber, a Justice of the Peace, in a for said county and State: Amy Lowe a resident of the county of Wayne who is known to me as the widow of Andrew R. Lowe and Mother of James S. Lowe deceased who was a Private in company H commanded by Captain F. A. Alexander in the 1st regiment of Kentucky Cav Volunteers commanded by Colonel Frank Walford in the war of 1861-2 and who being by me first duly sworn, doth on her oath state, that evidence of public record of marriage of the above named Andrew R. Lowe with herself cannot be adduced for the reason that she was married in Bledsoe County, Tennessee. That said county is now infested with rebel guerillas and there is no mail communication, therefore it is impracticable for her to obtain record evidence of her marriage. That there are no eye witnesses to her marriage now surviving.
