Henry ESLINGER (or ASLINGER) b. TN m. Kissiah _____ who was b. in GA and lived
in Walker Co., GA in 1860. I am searching for the marriage of Henry & Kissiah.
I suspect they were m. in one of the north GA Counties of Murray, Catoosa, Walker,
or Whitfield where Henry's siblings/cousins are known to have lived. Henry had
moved to Sevier Co., TN by 1866 when he sold property there and appeared in
the 1870 census. He may have been back in northern GA in the 1880 census as
he was not in TN.
