My husband's Day line begins with the "earliest known" ancestor PHILIP DAY (b. 1740 in
Va.) (NOTE - Philip's will was written about 1793 and he died about 1796. In Phillip Day's Will, he says sell his blacksmith tools when he dies to educate his children. There is a sale about 1796 for the Blacksmith tools. The Estate sale is shortly after 1820. This would indicate the date of death of the wife as dictated by Philip in his will.)
His wife, Frances Mansfield, died about 1821-23.
Philip was the son of JOHN DAY and Jane SPANN.

EARLY DAY MARRIAGES IN GEORGIA (from LDS Microfiche)
Provided by: Virginia Ewing to the Day Rootsweb list on 12 June 1997:
In the 6000 series of the LDS Family History Centers is a selection on research material on microfiche. There are two sets of microfiche covering early Georgia marriages, I believe on 1 is 37,000 early Ga. marriages and the other set is 40,000 early GA marriages. Below are the Days I found there. Didn't find the marriage I was looking for but maybe you will find yours. Do forgive any typos and consider checking out this source for your self. You will find it an any FHC and should be listed in the card files under Georgia.
