Carol Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, 17631900 http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/GenealogyMWeb/marrsrch.html PURCELL, JOHN L SHORT, NANCY E 02/05/1868 003/0207 FRANKLIN 1860 has 2 Nancy Short in Franklin, View Record Nancy E Short Township 6 S Range 1 E, Franklin, IL 14 abt 1846 Tennessee Female View Record Nancy Short Township 6 S Range 1 E, Franklin, IL 7 abt 1853 Illinois Female I don't find John Purcell there by Purc*, Perc*, Purs*, Pers* As for the 2 Nancy Shorts, the one b. 1853 is not married in 1870 or 1880, so she can't be the one who married John Purcell. She is living with her parents in Jefferson Co., IL in 1870, and her father in Franklin Co in 1880. So I think you have the wrong Nancy Short.
