Hi Gloria,
I clicked on your query just to see what it was and couldn't resist the temptation to see if I could find anything.
I did not find anything on the marriage, but did find them on the 1930 Census for Georgia, Sumter County, Plains; ED# 131-17; Sheet# 1A; dated April 2, 1930; lines 35 & 36; living on South Bond St.
ROSS, J. RUTHERFORD, head of house, owned his own home valued at $1000, it was not a farm; age 60 (age 28 at first marriage); born in Georgia, as were his parents; occupation, Carpenter.
MARY L., wife of head; age 57 (age 22 at first marriage); born in Georgia; her father was born in South Carolina; her mother was born in Georgia.
According to the census there is 3 years difference in their ages, but there is a 6 year difference in their ages at their first marriages.I guess someone may have been married twice, or it's just a case of memory loss at the time the census was taken;)
That's all I could find ... and ... I am not related to this family, so I have no information on them other than what I just posted.Hope it helps you out some.
By the way ... I got my info from Ancestry.com.
Pam
