I've exhausted the sources I have available to me in trying to
locate their
marriage record and am wondering if there's an index to Fountain County
marriages for the 1838-1842 time period so that I can check under different
spellings.
Susannah was the daughter of Peter Keever although some sources believe she
was married to a Barbery prior to her marriage to Samuel. She was born
sometime around 1822.
Samuel's birth year is a little more difficult to pin down because his
stated age jumps wildly from census to census and I haven't yet found his death
record.
They're hard to track down because I don't think they were married before
the 1840 census, they were too young to show up in the 1830 census and by the
1850 census, they're living in Iowa and have several children.
Have you tried the Indiana State Marriage Index at: >

there are several Keevers listed and some in Fountain County. Hope this helps
you.
