There's a very good chance that is the license date and not the actual
marriage date, and given his unusual first name, Edwin wouldn't be
out of the question as a misspelling.
At one time the Indiana State Library had a search function where I
found the following listing for this marriage:

Groom: Carnahan, Ewin

Remarks:
I just tried to find it again, and, of coarse it didn't work..........
Well, perseverance pays off. The URL for the search page is:

A surname search for Carnahan shows this one listing for Ewen & Elizabeth. Same as I
listed above.
Last Name: Carnahan
First Name: Ewin
Spouse- Last Name: Murphy
Spouse- First Name: Elizabeth Unis
County: Warrick
Date: 3-28-1839
Remarks:
The LDS Church filmed the Warrick County, IN records. I can't
determine if the microfilm they have is of the actual marriage registers
of someone's transcription of them.

Emma,
I have a question for you. Not sure if you received this. Do you know
about the marriage for Ewing and Elizabeth Murphy Warrick Co, IN? I have
they were married March 29, 1839 in Warrick County, IN.
But I found a marriage certificate for "Edwin" Carnahan and Elizabeth
Murphy, dated March 14, 1839, on file in Warrick County, IN.
Do you know if this "Edwin" is really "Ewing" Carnahan both married
an
Elizabeth Murphy? The marriage date is 15 days apart.
Thank you,
LuAna Drake Craig
