I have even been told that she married both known husbands, 1st: John Wesley "Wesley" BRIGHT, 2nd: Spencer B. PARKER, my paternal great grandfather, under the name of Moranda COLEMAN but I haven't seen anything yet to substantiate that. I don't know of a marriage to a ? COLEMAN. And I don't don't know any precise dates for marriages to BRIGHT nor PARKER. The information on the names, dates, and locations shown are from family Bibles, etc.. Rachael Moranda LEWIS and Spencer B. PARKER were the parents of my paternal grandmother, Allie Artimissa PARKER, who married James Martin "Jim" MYRICK.
