Rolene, I suggest you try this link for a land search for your Farris family.
I did look and found several Farris families listed in Indiana - but none in
Marion Co. I also searched for "Button" family and found Wilson Button who
buys land in Marion Co., IN in 1837, also a Harrison W. Button who buys land in
Fulton Co., IN in 1838.
I searched census index for a Farris family in Marion Co., IN for the years
1830 and 1840 and found none in Marion Co., IN, but then I did a "soundex"
search and found a John Faras living in Marion Co., IN in 1840, and also an Eli
Fares living in Marion Co., IN. Eli is young and listed with a wife, but no
children. John is married and has several children listed (of course, no names
are given on the 1840 census, except for head of household). There is a John
Farris listed on the land records search, but he has bought land in Owen Co.,
IN. So I just don't know if this is the same John Faras/Farris. Also, there
is a John Faras listed in Ohio in 1820.
I wish I could be of more help, but I think you will need to be creative with
the spelling of the "Farris" name.
This land search is free, all they ask is that you enter your zip code. Good
luck.
