These objections he overruled, by saying he was not a member of any church, would never interfere with my rights of conscience, would take or send me to my meeting when possible, and expect me to go sometimes with him.

He proposed going up the Allegheny to establish saw-mills, and if I would go into the woods with him, there should be no trouble about religion.

So there seemed no valid objection, and two years after our introduction we were married, on the 18th of November, 1836.
Then all was changed.

I offended him the day after by shedding tears when I left home to go for a visit to his father's house, and his sister had told him that I cried while dressing to be married.

These offenses he never forgave, and concluded that since I cared so little for him, he would not leave his friends and go up the Allegheny with me.
