I don't see either a James Fla(g)herty or an Agnes Davis on the 1850 for Mason Co. either. Have you double checked the microfilm to see if the marriage record transcription is accurate in this case? Some of those old records are pretty darn hard to read and we humans aren't above making a few mistakes.
