Judy, and all, I am fortunate to have the maiden name of my grgrgrandmother, but I can not find the marriage record. It is not found in the marriage records on line nor in the book printed by the genealogical society. I'm pretty sure that in 1821 they would not have traveled far to get married--probably by a circuit rider. She-Ann WARD -lived in Milton Twp. and my grgrgrandfather -CharlesS. PALMER -lived in Franklin TWP. She was only 17 at the time. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might find it? I have written to the genealogical section of the Probate court, but have not received an answer. I will be at the OGS Library on Oct. 5 and would like suggestions as to where I might look.

In 1821 most people were married by a justice of the peace who was elected. And I believe that they were not required to register their marriage with the county although most people did. Have you looked in Knox County records? I can't recall for sure but I think Richland County was still "attached" to Knox at that time which means that is the county you would look for the record in. I'm not sure if Richland's records were held separately or intermingled with Knox. Good luck!

Richland County was organized (and thereby set apart from Knox) on 7 January 1813. All legal BMD records occuring within the original boundaries from that date until 1845 were lodged at the County Seat, Mansfield. The "county seat wars" raged in the region from 1845 to 1848, resulting in the creation of Crawford, Ashland and Morrow Counties (among others),which shrank Richland to its present boundaries. The result being that Richland County records (where they actually exist!) between Jnauary 1808 (when the County was created) and 7 January 1813 are in Knox Co. From 7 January 1813 to 3 February 1845, they are in Richland County. From 3 February 1845 through 1848, some of the "Richland County" people's records began being recorded in their new counties. And from 1848 onwards, the situation stabilized. If I were trying to do this research on 5 October, I would be lost, as I don't know where it might be found at OGS (although the files of Family Group Sheets might be a start, and I think they have some marriage stuff in the file cabinets at the back, and, of course, whoever is working the desk will be your best guide!). I would try to get there a day early (on Friday) or stay over until Monday, because the best chance to find this is in the books at the Probate Court. If it happened in "Richland County" in 1821 and was actually filed, it is most likely there.
