Donna: I was just up to Canton, Illinois and had help locating some of my ancestors marriages. Had great help from a Marion C. Johnson, 616 East Spruce, Canton Ill. 61520 Tel. 309-647-2455-- Marion showed me the 4 Volumes of early marriages in the Fulton county library and I was able to copy the dates etc. --I will now contact the : "County Clerk and she will look up the names and for a fee of $2.00 for each marriage send a copy of the marriage license wich usually gives all of the info on parents and such. You can reachl the County Clerk., Fulton County , P.O. Box 226, Lewistown, IL 61542 Lewisburg, Att'n. Linda Kessler or call her at 309-547-3041. --Hope this helps you.
