SMITH, P.D. and HEWETT, Julia – (m. 1882)

Excerpted from the Onslow County Items column:

Only one marriage couple have been made happy the past week.  That of Mr. P.D. SMITH aged 62 yrs. and Miss Julia, daughter of Mr. J.K. HEWETT – usually called Swamp Sam – from his large size and peculiar good disposition, aged 14 years. Rather too much difference in age one would think.
