I got the date of Jan. 1866 marriage from the Civil War pension papers.The only other places mentioned on the papers is Chenoa Illinois McLean Co. Andrew Walter Parker was there, he wrote, until 1868 so maybe he married Olive Belle G? there then went to Osage Co. for the homestead land the government was giving to all the war vets. Thanks again for trying for me. I just thought they may have met and married in Kansas but it could have been Illinois.
