Thanks anyone for the help. > I have a marriage book from Texas County, MO, 1850-1876. I didn't find your great grandmother listed in the book. I, also, looked for ages for my great grandparents in Texas County. They were both born there, and their elder children were born there. I finally found out, quite by accident, that they were married in Blount Co., AR. I called the county clerk there, and lo and behold, found their marriage certificate. This might give you a clue to look in adjacent counties. I don't know why they went there to marry. They were both of age, and my grandmother was born about ten months later in Texas Co. Hope this helps, Myra
