Adam's first marriage to Jenny Pritchett was about January 13, 1820, in Floyd County, Kentucky, according to several books and web sites.   The following letter is a response to a letter I sent to the Floyd County Clerk requesting Adam and Jenny's marriage record.

I received the following documents in an e-mail on May 1, 1999, from my cousin Joseph Franklin Fleetwood in Ava, Missouri.  Thank you Joey!!  I have them transcribed below as best I can.
