An obit for Melissa Anna (Donnelly) Morrissey gave her marriage date as 3 Oct 1867 in Mount Vernon, Knox Co, OH. I would like to know if there is a record of it in the marriage books. If not, where might I be able to find it? In Champaign, IL, she was a member of the Emmanuel Episcopal church. Is there a church in the Knox County, OH, area that she might have belonged to and where she might have been married (in 1867)? Thanks, Jen

There is no marriage recorded in the "Knox County Marriages 1808-1875" for either Donnelly or Morrissey. The Episcopal Church in Mt. Vernon is St. Paul's, if I remember correctly. Is your Melissa the oldest daughter of T. or F. Donnelyl & wife Rebecca of Jasper Co, IN (1860 IN Census). She is the only one who was of marrying age that came up on ancestry.com. Carole
