Hubbard [mailto:jeanneh@ezwv.com] Sent: Friday, July 10, 2893 6:44 PM To: INCASS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [INCASS] Roman Catholic Church information needed 9/29/2000 I have just received a copy of the marriage certificate for my g grandparents: Patrick and Catharine MORRISSEY QUINLAN. It was issued on 17 October 1859 by Noah S. LaRose, Clerk. the certificate states that they were married by Geo A. Hamilton, a Roman Cath Priest on the 17th day of october, 1859. Does anyone know what Catholic Churches there were in the area at that time? does anyone know if there are additional records available -- those with names of parents, witnesses, place of birth, etc.? Does anyone know of Father George A. Hamilton? Family lore states that the Morrissey family lived in Logansport, IN., but the only other Morrissey marriages I could find on the data base (the WPA transcriptions) were in the 1890s and, if related, are probably nephews. I also know that in the 1860 census Patrick and Catharine Morrissey Quinlan were living in Harrison Township, Pulaski county IN. Thank you for your help.
