If anyone has access to marriage records in Jackson or surrounding counties, I would appreciate your assistance. I don't know if the residents in Jackson Co., married there, or perhaps there was a favorite neighboring county for marriages. I am trying to locate a marriage for Penelope Shingleton and W. H. Parsley. The Shingleton family were listed in the 1850 Federal Census in Blue Twp living with a Thomas Rogers who appeared to be the head of the household. I assume that Thomas Rogers was the father of Penelope's mother Sarah and Grandfather to Sarah's children. In any event, Penelope and W. H. Parsley are living in Solano Co., CA in 1860 with a daughter born about 1859, so I assume that they married between 1855 and 1859. There is a Hiram Parsley, about the correct age, listed in Stoddard Co., Missouri in 1850 but I am not sure if that may be too far away from Jackson Co., to consider even looking there. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
