C.C. Are there any old newspapers in Wellington/Lafayette or Ray County (where Mattie's family lived) that might have an announcement of this marriage? Does anyone know what church James McHatton was associated with, if the church still exists in Wellington, are their records that might include witnesses of the marriage? Please email me with any information. Thank you.
