It will give you an idea of what to expect in a divorce record. No relatives
or even children's names were mentioned. In the divorce records in the
1850's in Martin County that I've seen, none state a reason for the divorce.
Also, at the time of their divorce, the circuit court records had no
shortage of divorces granted. I was surprised at the number granted in that
session of the court.

Nancy Ann Acre married Michael Gray in Martin County, Indiana in 1841 and
was granted a divorce in Martin County, Indiana in May 1850. I've heard the
reason for the divorce was that Michael wanted to move west to build a
bridge and Nancy didn't want to go. Does anyone know more details about
this
story or know of a different explanation for their divorce?

With regard to divorce cases in Martin Co. at that period of time, can
anyone tell me what kind of information they are likely to contain? I
suppose names of parents and place of birth is too much to hope for!
What about names of relatives living in Martin Co.? Were there many
divorces at that period?
I would think that at that time the reason for divorce would have been
stated. I don't think there was any "no fault". Was there an actual
trial though, with witnesses testifying as to the truth of the grounds
for the divorce, the characters of the husband and wife, etc.?
