Mary Ann isn't on this list at the moment but here's a message from her that might be useful: I noticed that there were several persons from surrounding Counties, so thought it might be a good idea for you to check these out. There were some from Morgan and Menard as well as Logan, Macoupin and Macon Counties. I have obtained permission from Eileen Gochanour to post on the Sangamon ILGenWeb page, her transcription/publication of "Sangamon County Illinois Marriage Applications - March 16, 1879 thru December 31, 1881" Didn't count how many, but there are 62 pages of Marriage applications here, giving the Application #, Groom, Bride, Age, and place of residence. These are Applications for a License and are housed at the IL Regional Archives at Brooken Library, Univ. of IL, Springfield. Some of these marriages might not have occurred, but good guess would be that at least 90% of them did. Go to this page for more information: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsangam/marr1879.htm Special thanks to Eileen for allowing use of her publication! Hope you find one of your ancestors!
