I am trying to find a marriage record for Sophia Whitson (daughter of Thomas Whitson) and Benjamin F. Henson. Everything I have says "abt 1828 in Jackson County" but I haven't been able to find a record anywhere. I have checked the state-wide database using several spelling variations to no avail. Was it common to go to Missouri to get married? If someone wanted to go to Missouri from Jackson County to get married, was there a county that was the most likely location? Thanks for any assistance. Mary Riseling Springfield, IL
