Message Board Post:
A lot of people in Ripley County at that time did not get married in Ripley county. They
got married in Jefferson County. Or Dearborn County. Or whatever county seat they could
register the marriage at, usually a neighboring county.
Sometimes it was because it was closer, sometimes it was because of parent's location,
sometimes it was just a common-law marriage and there is no record of it.
