Thanks Eilis,

I'll look into some of this. As far as the marriage records go, Owen was married by a justice of the peace, so the license is all there will be. And as I said, Kentucky records in the 1800s are sometimes nonexistent.

Also, I have no idea where he filed the first papers for his citizenship and so I don't know where to look.
Anyway, I'll go from here and see what I can find.

Thanks for all your help.

Sandy
