For that reason there are no birth, marriage and death records, before that date, with the exception of the CW Widows Affidavits from the County Commissioners Book H, 124 marriages. The only other major resource is the 1854 Land Roll. There are a few deeds from around 1870. The Family History Library has a few odd sources, otherwise that is it. The marriages affidavits and the cemetery records are on the Kemper GenWeb site. There are also the federal censuses and some state censuses before 1850, and some tax records.
