I understand that in the mid 1800s couples from Berrien
County Michigan frequently crossed the border to Indiana to
get married, for whatever reasons.
My Augustus, Gus, Gustav Thompson married a Jo Ann or Joanna
(possibly Daly) sometime between the 1860 census and about
1863. They are not in the records of Berrien County
Michigan.
Is it possible to check marriage records for this time
period for this couple? He was definitely in Galien
Michigan as a single man in the 1860 census but soon started
a family.
Any help of suggestions are most appreciated.
