Hello Brenda - No, I can't help you, sorry. There are no public marriage records for Dallas Co., MO, before the fall of 1867. This is due to three courthouse fires in the 1860s which destroyed all previous records. Marriages before this time are usually found in family bibles or other writings kept by the family. I'll send a copy of this request to the Dallas Co. list. Perhaps another might be able to help.
