Movie Title? 1700-1800's Couple Move to Frontier Cabin-Baby Coming

Frontier Wilderness Romance-Couple Settle in Cabin

 

I'm looking for a movie title of a classic movie that I saw maybe 25 or more years ago on tv. It would probably have been filmed in the 1940's, but could have been in the late 1930's, or 1950's. I only remember a few details of the plot and cannot remember ANY of the actors or characters, which is unusual and makes it so difficult to find the movie title. Do not even recall if the film was in color or black and white.

 

I thought that it was "Drums Along the Mohawk" and purchased it, but it was NOT the movie. It is similar in plot, though. I went to www.imdb.com and read the summary for "The Howards of Virginia", but I don't remember the characters being in politics.

 

The movie probably is set during the 1700's, perhaps the 1800's. A young couple is wanting to get married, and the rich father objects. He may have been a wealthy landowner in Virginia or a southern state.

 

They do get married and move to the wilderness?, setting up their new lives in a cabin. They suffer hardships, etc. She is pregnant with their child later in the movie. The baby is coming, and their friend, farmhand, sidekick, or whatever? has to go and try and find the husband before the baby arrives.

 

Hope someone is familiar with this old movie. I've done searches online and scanned possible movie titles. Went to www.imdb.com and looked up some possible actors and searched their movie titles, but came up empty handed.

 

Since the plot is similar to DRUMS ALONG THE MOHAWK, maybe it may be of the same time period??

 

Regards,
