During the time that I was thus employed I was put to board with a Mr Isaac Hale of that place, ’Twas there that I first saw my wife, (his daughter) Emma Hale. On the eighteenth of January Eighteen hundred and twenty seven we were married while yet I was employed in the service of Mr Stoal. Owing to my still continuing to assert that I had seen a vision, persecution still followed me, and so much was my wife’s father excited, that he was greatly <​and my wife’s father’s family were very much​> opposed to our being married, in so much that he would not suffer us to be married at his house I was therefore under the necessity of taking her elsewhere, so we went and were married at Mr St the house of Mr Stoal. <​Squire Tarbill [Zechariah Tarble] in South Bainbridge. Chenango County. New York.​> Immediately after my marriage I left Mr Stoals, and went to my father’s and farmed with him that season.
