Information taken from Huntington County, Indiana Marriage Records,
1837-1883, compiled by Ruth M. Slevin, 1970:
17 Feb. 1850, Ketner, Mary Ann and Dinard, William, bk. B, page 80
17 Feb. 1850, Ketner, Margaret Malinda and Mayer, Jesse (same book and
page)
Apparently the transcriber of these marriage records had problems
deciphering them also as there is a * by Dinard and at the bottom of the
page, the * means "could be Dinand". No official is listed.

I am working on a FamilySearch Indexing (
www.familysearchindexing.org)
project to index Indiana Marriages
(
http://www.familysearchindexing.org/en/projects/Indiana_Marriages_1870-Ap...).
I am working on Huntington County, Indiana page 80 and have encountered
problems with two entries. I realize the project title says 1870-1905,
but these entries appear to be for 1850 (actually using sheets printed for
1840).
One entry lists a groom as (most likely Jesse) Mayer, bride as Margaret
Malinda Ketner or Kitner, license date of 16 Feb 1850, and wedding date of
17 Feb 1850. The official's surname is likely Browne or Brown, but the
given name is difficult to discern.
The next entry lists a bride as Mary (or May) Ann Ketner or Kitner. The
groom is listed as William, but the surname is very difficult to discern.
The first two spellings (by the clerk?) suggest that the first letter is a
J, L or T with the remainder being something like "onard" or "inard".
The
third spelling (by the pastor or JP) suggest that the first letter might
be a D with the remainder possibly being "inard". The license and wedding
dates are the same as the first entry. The official could be the same as
that for the first entry and may be John R? Brown.
Does anyone know of these Ketners or Kitners? Does anyone know the real
name of their grooms?
