Though Arbelle's gravestone and her records AFTER 1860 vary on her birth YEAR the 1850 and 1860 US Federal censuses were the best records for determining her birth YEAR. Arbelle's mother was living and the best source for the births of her children. Both the 1850 and 1860 censuses indicate that Arbelle was born in 1846.

There are 3 different SOURCES confirming 3 marriages for Arbelle Wiggins:
SOURCE 1: BBH P2 p27/39-Lodoiska's Deposition Jun 8, 1898: Arbelle's mother Lodoiska said Arbelle
m1) a man named GANN; he died then Arbelle
m2) a man named BELL; he died and then Arbelle
m3) a man named Floyd WARREN, Pelham Station, Shelby Co., AL.

SOURCE 2: BBH P2 p33/39-Henry W Armstrong's Deposition Jun 7, 1898:
"Arabel(sic) who married ___ GAN(sic) and he died and she married a man by the name of ___ BELL and moved to North Alabama."

SOURCE 3: 1870 US Federal Census T18 R9 Clay Co., AL. P.O. Delta.
Arbelle ("A D BELL")-26 GA lived w/her mother, step-father,+ half bro. Also 2 young girls are listed:
"Alace GANN"-5 + "C C BELL"-3. Both b AL. What happened to Alace/Alice and C C?

IF Arbelle's 3 marriages were ALL in Randolph County, they most likely burned in the 1 Dec 1896 Courthouse fire. PROOF is per BBH P2 p4 of 39. Lodoiska's Affidavit: Lodoiska said her own 2nd marriage record to Benjamin B Hunt was burned when the Courthouse in Wedowee, Randolph County, Alabama burned 1 Dec 1896.

Arbelle Wiggins and her 3rd husband Nathaniel Floyd Warren [1846-1919] married abt. 1873 per the 1900 US Federal Census. No marriage record has yet been found to date. As mentioned earlier, IF Arbelle married in Randolph County, the record most likely burned.
