Hello! I am searching for my ancestor Obedience Koger who married my gggggg gramdfather Dr. James Huff . James Huff was born about 1763, and from Kentucky census records so was Obedience. The census also says that they were both born in Virginia. They were the earliest settlers Lee county Virginia. They came to Harlan Co. Ky in the early 1800s.

I have heard that they may have been married in Tennessee, but I do not have proof of this. I have also heard that they may have spent some time in South Carolina.
