An Arkansas County marriage record appears to be for J C. It appears his wife's name has been mistrascribed. I suspect the maiden name was Branstetter.

Her name was confirmed in another index record, which had the correct name but no marriage date. this also corrected her first name to Janie, instead of Jamie.
