Jan,

I should have read your post of October I see you are far ahead of me with your information. If you contact the Eaton County Clerk and pay the fee there should be a record of the marriage if it was recorded there.

And, actual marriage licenses were not required until an act was passed in 1887, which was when parents names of the bride and groom were listed on the license. Before that like I said, its the bride and groom, witnesses, their residences, whoever performed the ceremony, once and a while but not often, it says the marriage was at a certain person's house, and the clerks who recorded it listed in the book of recorded marriages.
