I have just received a copy of the marriage certificate for my g grandparents: Patrick
and Catharine MORRISSEY QUINLAN. It was issued on 17 October 1859 by Noah S. LaRose,
Clerk. the certificate states that they were married by Geo A. Hamilton, a Roman Cath
Priest on the 17th day of october, 1859.
Does anyone know what Catholic Churches there were in the area at that time? does anyone
know if there are additional records available -- those with names of parents, witnesses,
place of birth, etc.?
Does anyone know of Father George A. Hamilton?
Family lore states that the Morrissey family lived in Logansport, IN., but the only other
Morrissey marriages I could find on the data base (the WPA transcriptions) were in the
1890s and, if related, are probably nephews.
I also know that in the 1860 census Patrick and Catharine Morrissey Quinlan were living in
Harrison Township, Pulaski county IN.
Thank you for your help.
