Jean,
This is a quote from "Early Settlers of Indiana's "Gore"
1803-1820" by
Shirley Keller Mikesell:
===
"The Indiana Territory was formed in 1800 with the division of the Northwest
Territory. At that time, Ohio's western boundary was the Greenville Treaty
Line of 1795. When Ohio became a state in 1803 and its present western
boundary was established, a wedge of land was ceded to the Indiana Territory
and named Dearborn County. It became known as the "Gore". The county seat at
Lawrenceburg was the primary repository for records concerning the
inhabitants.
Subdivision of Dearborn Co. began in 1811 with the formation of Franklin
and Wayne counties, followed by Switzerland in 1814. The "Gore" area slices
through the present-day counties of Dearborn, Franklin, Ohio, Randolph,
Switzerland, Union and Wayne."

There was a court house fire in Dearborn County in 1826. But, I will put
your information on my list to look for in Dearborn County on my next trip.
I did notice two marriages in Franklin County which may be of interest to
you, though:
Fletcher, Eliza Jane to Price, John 9-29-1837
Fletcher, Rebecca Ann to Kay, John 1-16-1840
Good luck in your search,
Ruth Cox Schlemmer
