Hi Judith,
I am not really saying you are wrong as I like yourself need to have absolute proof before entering details in my own tree.
The record that I saw was at the following link:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,442233.0.html
if you go to this page and then scroll down to the
Births 1864-1881
Marriages 1845-1870
Deaths 1864-1870
click on the Marriages link and you will be taken to another site where there is a search facility. Just type in Sarah McKnight select "Marriage" box and 1858 (no need for place) and you should be taken to marriages for Sarah McKnight where you will see the entry for her marriage to James Patterson on the correct date 9 Nov 1858 with fathers given as Robert McKnight and James Patterson. As this from the Mormon records it may well be that it was wrongly transcribed but I hate discrepencies.
You have too much evidence in your several records for me to take this as true over yours but it did cast that shadow of doubt that I do so hate.
I just wish we could find a birth record for Benjamin to seal it once and for all.
All the best
Richard
