Miami County was formed from Cass County in 1834, just a few years prior
to this.

I found the following record in the Shelby Co IN Clerk's vault. Can
anyone
identify any of the people?

Something is screwy about that court (divorce) entry--or about the
record
of
marriage I found. The divorce hearing was in Shelby Co in 1857,
saying
they
had been married in Miami Co. According to the WPA vital records,
Thomas
Kelly & Henrietta Appleton were married 5 Aug 1867 in Cass Co,
which
is on
the west border of Miami Co. It could be they didn't
know/remember
which
county they were married in, but can't think of anyway to account
for
an
1857
divorce hearing for a 1867 marriage!--except a mistranscription of the
marriage date.
