Linda, Just taking a quick look around, I found a few things for you: 1. There is only 1 Morrill in the 1830 Census of Oakland County: Abner Morrill 000001 00001 http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Emikent/census/1830/oakland.html 2. Samuel and Laura are in Campbell also in 1870 : http://epiphyte.libofmich.lib.mi.us/CensusImages/Roll676/387R.pdf with kids Martha J, Milford E (or Wilford E) , Abraham and Anna 3. Familysearch.org has the extracted marriage record - I would highly advise getting the film since it is 0973980, Record of marriages 1827-1919; index to marriages 1827-1959 Oakland County (Michigan). County Clerk (In other words, a fairly reliable source and it'll give you the rest of the information to order the certificate): SAMUEL TAYLOR Marriages: Spouse: LAURA MORRILL Marriage: 17 APR 1852 , Oakland, Michigan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Messages: Extracted marriage record for locality listed in the record. The source records are usually arranged chronologically by the marriage date. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Information: Batch No.: Dates: Source Call No.: Type: Printout Call No.: Type: M518682 1849 - 1876 0973980 V.

Look up AFN: 1PSM-FRK . 5. In the Dibean marriage Index, all I found were these Morrills in Oakland County: ADAMS,LCONARD - ADAMS,MORRILL,MARTHA H MORRILL,OAKLAND,,24 OCT 1835,---,CTY REC VOL 1,---,Ward & Catherine Martin (I would bet the name should be Leonard) COWLES,SYLVESTER DADA COWLES,MORRILL,SARAH - MORRILL,OAKLAND,,21 MAY 1855,---,---,---, Hopefully this will give you a start!
