I am looking for confirmation of marriage on 23 March 1876 between Sarah Mariah Moreland and William Henry Johnson. The marriage is reported to have taken place in Kansas City, Jackson MO. Sarah was born 23 June 1849 near Sidney, Hamilton Co., OH she died 12 Jan 1915 Any other information on the couple/family would be appreciated Julie Eden

Julie, I checked the index book of Jackson County marriages. There was no MORELAND listed. I did find the following: William H. JOHNSON - Caroline WARNER -- June 28, 1876 (book 7, page 309) You might want to contact the Jackson County courthouse and request the marriage certificate for William and Sarah using the March 23, 1876 date. Perhaps their marriage wasn't put in the index. A copy of the certificate is only $2. Here is the courthouse info: Jackson County, Kansas City courthouse 415 East 12th Street, Room 104 Kansas City, MO 64106 (phone 816-881-3048) e-mail address: records@gw.co.jackson.mo.us You said that Sarah died 12 January 1915. Did she die in Kansas City? If yes, do you have her obit?
