Alisha - here's one of the daughter's marriages you may have missed *COTTRAIN (COLETRAIN), RACHEL CORBET, JAMES January 9, 1851 3 313 Also, Indiana marriages of this time frame are basically so & so married so & so on such & such a date. Basically, what is above - there are no parents etc. on them. Montgomery County does have a unique source I spearheaded a grant (and the work) for many years ago that often gives the names of parents. They are marriage affidavits. A parent might write: Nancy, my daughter, has my permission to marry James Jones today. Or, I am writing permission for my daughter to get married. Sometimes they were lengthy or funny or short or zip -- we used to laugh & call them today's SS cards. The Crawfordsville Library have them and I could look next time I go or you could call them and have them check the orange marriage affidavits for those two marriages and hopefully, one will give Solomon's name as the parent. 765-362-2242 I think extension 3 but you better listen to the speal to make sure to get reference/local history :) Hope some of this helps *
