I am in need of information from a marriage record; hopefully parents are named
or Sina A Towell to Alexander McCrackin Dec 7, 1874, Carroll County Book 7,
age 37.
Why not go directly to the source? With the book and page number, the clerk in the
Delphi courthouse can give you the information.
But if you are hoping to learn the names of parents, this information rarely appeared on
the marriage record that early.
Sometimes if the bride is underage, it does appear.
Sina appears to be a 47 year old widow in 1870 in Carroll co with in 18 year old son.
Definitely not an underage bride when she married Alexander.
In 1860 she is with what is probably her husband William in Morgan county, Indiana.
The Indiana State Library’s data base of marriages through 1850 has Sina Ann OLDS marrying
William TOWELL in Morgan county 12 april 1849.
And in 1870, widow Sina has a young woman named OLDS /OULDS living in her household,
possibly a niece.
The name is seen variously as Towe, Towell and Towel.
Alexander mcCracken was apparently married before, too.
