There are no vital records in Lenawee before 1852, that is the earliest marriage, as there was a courthouse fire that year and the marriage records prior to the fire were lost. Birth and death records start in 1867, were not mandated by the state before that date. So, if they were married in Lenawee, there will be no record of it, sorry to say. County was not founded till 1824, do you have them on the census here before 1850? Tecumseh also has no marriage records before 1852, UNLESS a church record.
