NOTES:

The date range for Mickey's death is based on the date of the 1850 US Census in Gibson County, Tennessee and the marriage date of D D Vaden and Polly Vaden.

I have found a marriage record listed in FamilySearch.com indicated that D D Vaden married Micha sometime around 1834. I assume that Micha was a nickname for Mickey Austin Blankenship. I now wonder is Mickey may have died during the birth of Mary Jane and D D remarried sometime after. Notice that the next child born for D D is Hannah in 1837. At this time I have not been able to confirm that Micha is a different person. I am operating on the assumption that Mickey and Micha is the same person.

Mickey had to have her father’s consent to be married. The marriage / marriage bond was witnessed by Daniel Dunnavant. The marriage ceremony was performed on Dec 24, 1822 by Edmund Goode. The Marriage bond was dated Dec 23, 1822. (Marriage Bonds & Ministers Returns of Chesterfield Co., VA 1816 - 1853)
