The 1849 Bangor, Maine marriage index (FamilySearch, “Maine, Marriages, 1771-1907,” ark 1:1:F4X4-SNG) transcribes this person’s surname as “Reynolds” rather than “Runnels.” The marriage date and place match family F04868’s recorded marriage exactly and no second Bangor, Maine “Benjamin H. Morrill” marriage exists in the tree, so this is read as an index-transcription/spelling-drift variant of “Runnels,” not a different person.^[8]
