  	Marriage license issued 31 December 1844 "on oath of groom." Rev. Elias Gatchel signed the document on 10 February 1845. This license is reproduced in Bazzel's Civil War pension file. The minister and/or copyist was not too careful with his spellings, as "Denbow" is spelled "Danbow" and "Tanner" is spelled "Tennor." Some researchers have thought that this was an alternate spelling of Ruth's last name; however, I've concluded that it's just sloppy spelling, though other members of her family spell Tanner in a variety of other ways.

  		Possible Photo fo James T. Den Caption Note: The idenification of this photo as James Tanner Denbow is tentative. It is based on the age of the photo, the fact that it was in my father's possession and identified as from his paternal side, and the close resemblance of the man in this photo with a much later photo of JTD in front of his house.
