Looking for Parents of Henrietta Norwood who married Leonard Duncan.

Question

I have Henrietta Norwood, Born about September 1818 in New York. Married Leonard Duncan (also born in New York, 1801) on January 21, 1838 in Ohio. They are the parents of my ancestor, Alfred Duncan, born October 29, 1845 in Indiana. Henrietta died February 10, 1893 in Champaign, Illinois. She is buried in Homer Township, Illinois. I cannot find the names of Henrietta's or Leonard's parents or sourced birth information to verify they were both actually born in New York. PLEASE HELP! I'm at a dead end to my last name and I want to continue. Any advice is also greatly appreciated.

Dear Stephanie,

   Here seems to be their marriage record:

"Ohio, County Marriages, 1789-2013," database with images, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XD4X-GYQ : accessed 28 January 2016), Leonard Duncan and Henrietta Norwood, 21 Jan 1838; citing Pike, Ohio, United States, reference 218-129; county courthouses, Ohio; FHL microfilm 292,748.

   For research, how did they each get to Ohio from NY?  Were their families traveling together?  Maybe they were neighbors in NY and other family relationships will give you the story.

   Hope this helps!  -NGP

I am also on Family Search and have attached all of their children and their children's husbands and so on and still haven't found anything on record prior to their marriage in Ohio.
