    Second Marriage-Elizabeth M. MEDLING married John BRISCOE around 1858
    Daughter Hattie, born 1861
    --  Mary Molly Marvel Davis, born 1866, By Jeff Davis, Genealogy.com, http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/marvel/371/

    The 1860 census finds them with two children with the surname of Medling.  John's wife is named Elizabeth.  We note that Rebecca died in 1852.  Elizebth is John's second wife.  The two Medling children would be Elizabeth's children from her first marriage.  The ages of her Medling children tell us that Elizabeth and John maried after the birth of Mary in about 1855.
