NOTE: Filetus Lewallen and Rebecca "Becky" Perkins obtained a marriage license in Campbell Co, TN on 19 Apr 1898. Then they obtained another one on 14 May 1898. So, for whatever reason, there was a delay after the first license, and perhaps the eligibility period expired. (??) It's unclear whether they ever actually married or not, or if they just got as far as obtaining the license(s). He ended up marrying Malinda Jane "Jane"/"Lindy Jane" Blankenship just three years later on 03 Mar 1901.
