Married in Chesterfield Dist., on Thursday evening, the 25th inst., by

W. L. Robeson, Esq., Mr. Obedah Gullage, to Mrs. Lancy Boatright. (July

Since the newspaper edition is 1 July 1840 the marriage date for the two has to be 25 June 1840. This is the first document I have seen with an actual date. Drury Boatwright War of 1812 Pension records says the marriage took place in the Fall of 1839,
