Marriage license of John M. Austin and Sarah Green



In Salem, Indiana, I got a pretty good surprise. At the John Hay Museum and Research Center they had aquired some boxes of old records from the courthouse. I actually got to hold the 1866 marriage license in my hands. Probably the first time an Austin had touched it in 143 years.
