Rumor says, Moses HARROD & Mary Jane (DUVALL),
then residents of KY, eloped and
headed "west" in a covered wagon.
This would support the eloping theory.
Perhaps the "Home Town Marriages" of
these couples were not approved of?
In any event, it appears the couples married
1st; Franklin Co., KY Nov 1855
2nd; Clark Co., IND Nov 1855.
Here are the details of the marriages....

HARROD, Moses, Res. Henry, 22, Born Franklin
