Elvina, Joy is correct that it is unlikely that you will find an actual
marriage license (certificate) that far back in time. The oldest, actual
license, that I have from Newton County is dated 1876. Prior to that I have
found marriage records as far back as 1838 but they are just entries recorded
by the officiant that performed the ceremony. If GenFriends don't have a
record of the marriage, try the Missouri State Archives (it has been a gold
mine for me).
