It is stated he married at age 12. I cannot find the source that was used to verify the day he was married. What document was used, as his home burned up with all things in it. If a certificate of mariage was found at the court house this needs to be stated. If in fact they were married longer than anyone, we need a document to prove this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.11.140.229 ( talk) 11:30, 13 May 2012 (UTC) reply

The only currently cited source for him marrying in 1772 at age 12 is a blog ( https://preacherpollard.com/2011/02/14/daniel-and-susan-bakeman/). The Daughters of the American Revolution source says they married in 1782 when he was 22. I am correcting the marriage year and deleting the statement about the longest claimed marriage.
