Thanks so much for your efforts!! I do have the marriage record for Irena Morrison--she
married Wm Hawkins in 1843 in Marion County, IN, and they lived in Morgan county for the
1850 census.
My best hope is that there is a record of the divorce proceedings, since the divorce was
listed in a book of Morgan county records.
The probate records may not show Benj Barnes, if he did not have a will, but the land
records should show the change in ownership of his estate to Widow Hannah, children,
debt-holders...
I have often wished I lived closer so I could dig in the records myself!! Thanks again for
your time and effort!
