  		Marriage Record for a James Robertson and Martha Field Archer, NOT US. This James was a soldier, 2nd Lieutenant, born in Wake, North Carolina. This line has been confused with ours because of the name James and the Chesterfield County marriage place, but this was clearly not our line. And yet many Ancestry.com trees incorrectly connect this James to us.
