A Brown Co OH researcher's reply to my request for more information: "The marriage record that you requested is: George Morris to Elizabeth Herd on 3 Sept 1827, by Thomas Shelton JP. in Aberdeen, Huntington Twp. Brown Co Ohio. I doubt if you will ever be able to get a copy of the orginal document, the marriage was preformed by "Squire Thomas Shelton" JP kept his own records, and very few of them were ever recorded at the courthouse in Georgetown, Ohio. Aberdeen was known as the "Greta Green" of Brown County. The Squire didn't require the couples to show proof of their ages, and quite a few young couples ran away to be married by him. A list of some of the marriages that he preformed as been compiled from other sources, but it seems that the old Squire's records have been lost over the years." Charlene Smitson
