Classification: Marriage Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ok.2ADE/1828.1.1 Message Board Post: If it be true that they were married before they came to Nishnabotna Country, I wonder if an 1840 census, somewhere, would show both names in the same county--where they might have been married? But it seems that there is little hope of ever finding a marriage record if they were married in Nishnabotna Country. I was told in the 1960's that the first book of Holt county marriages, 1841 - 1845, had been missing from the court house at Oregon before the oldest person around the town had had a chance to see it. Fortunately, the first book of Atchison county marriages, 1845+ is available. And lastly, the Jesuit priests who made missionary trips up and down the St. Joseph - Council Bluffs road 1839+ kept their marriages in the so - called St. Mary's Register, now in St. Mary's, Kansas. I have never seen a complete list of these marriages.

Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ok.2ADE/1832.2 Message Board Post: YES, I know that it has been stated many times that Pottawatamie county extended down to the Missouri border until such time as Fremont county was organized....BUT, that does not assure it of being a correct statement! regardless of how many times it has been said. One may say that two plus two equals five, as many times as they want, but that does not make it an absolute TRUTH. I have been reading my old notes! It would seem that this "fact" was first expounded by the "Frontier Guardian" of Aug. 8, 1849, when it stated that Fremont county was going to be formed "...out of a portion of Missouri along with a portion of Pottawatamie county..." The same paper complained that this to-be-organized area should have been paying taxes into the treasury of Pottawatamie from the time that Pottawatamie was organized on Sept. 21, 1848. AND again the "Frontier Guardian" of April 3, 1850 stated that Pottawatamie county extended from the NORTH LINE OF MISSOURI up to the "Big Sioux". But regardless of what that paper said, the law creating the limits of Pottawatamie county set them as being WITHIN the limits of the Pottawatamie Purchase. This law says nothing about the southern border of that county as being the same as the northern border of Missouri. Chapter 84 in "Laws of Iowa" establishes the county of Pottawattamie. HOWEVER, Fremont county had been established prior to this time, in Chapter 83, stating that township 70 north would be part of Fremont county. SSSOOO, townships 69 and 70, in no way, would have ever been a part of Pottawatamie county. The limits of Fremont (and Ringgold, Taylor and Page) were established on Feb. 18, 1847. The Senate Journal for Feb. 17, 1847 shows that Senator Selman from Davis and Appanoose was responsible for putting the bill up for adoption. That Fremont county was ever a part of Pottawatamie has no basis in factual history. After 150 years of misunderstanding, this needs to be stated LOUD AND CLEAR.
