(Out of State; Marriage Testimony) Sworn Statement Marriage of Reed Lawrence and Amy Akin State of Arkansas ) County of Sebastian ) Samuel F. Lawrence being first duly sworn says:- My name is Samuel Lawrence; I reside in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. I know Reed Lawrence, who served in Company D, 16 Th. Missouri Cavalry. He is my brother and is four years older than I.
He married Amy Akin (Eagon) in Polk County, Missouri, during the summer of 1866 and I think it was  in the month of July. I was not represent when the ceremony was performed, but was present at my father's house when my brother Reed brought his wife home there soon after the marriage. The marriage was solemnized by John Askins, who was at that time a Justice of the Peace in Polk County, Missouri, Esquire Askins was at that me an old man, and I have been informed and believe that he has been dead many years. I testify that Esquire Askins solemnized the marriage, from common knowledge and information.
At the time of this marriage the laws of the State of Missouri did not require parties to secure a marriage license before marriage, nor did the law require that the record of the marriage be recorded after the marriage; however the parties could have the marriage recorded if they so desired. Some years after my brother Reed was married he and his family moved to Texas and I went with them. They moved later from Texas to Stringtown, Indian Territory, now Oklahoma, where I visited them occasionally. They were living together and had several children. My brother Reed visited me in Arkansas occasionally, and I occasionally received letters from him and his family.
