Apparently, Aaron Bullin and Elizabeth (Bennett) Harris cohabitated for about 12 years before getting married. Their marriage record in Franklin County, AL indicates a marriage date of Dec 27, 1897. However, in responding to the 1900 Census enumerator, Elizabeth gives 1885 as the year of marriage. The marriage date is important only in regards to the parentage of the children of the couple. Since the death certificate of Ella Bullen, born 1894, indicates that Elizabeth Harris is the mother of Ella, there's corroborating evidence that the relationship between Aaron and Elizabeth does in fact pre-date their marriage of record.
