Being in Las Vegas, as I am, there are several LDS genealogy centers here in Vegas. I keep meaning to go check it out!

I think you can also get copies thru the LDS for a few dollars, if you have the information..

Request a Marriage Record from IRAD
Illinois Regional Archives Depositories (IRAD) hold original marriage records or microfilm copies for many Illinois counties. The IRAD holdings include marriage records for over seventy of the 102 counties in Illinois. Consult the Local Governmental Records Holdings Database to see if IRAD has marriage records for the county and date of the marriage you are requesting. Type the search term MARRIAGE in the title field to return all marriage records in the IRAD holdings. If IRAD does have marriage records for the county you are searching and for the pertinent time period, write the appropriate IRAD depository and include in your letter all of the information on the marriage given in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index. Click here for the addresses and telephone numbers of the Illinois Regional Archives Depositories. Marriage record searches are free, but a small copy fee will be billed for records found. IRAD provides uncertified copies only. Certified copies must be requested from the county clerk.

Ok, you geniuses! Since you've kicked down one of my worst brick walls, I might as well ask you about something particularly PA. Do you know anything about the Walters family? My gg grandpa Andrew Jackson Walters (born 1828 in Fairfield, OH) is kinda another brick wall for me. I have been trying to discover his parents, and have come up with a mess instead! I guess there are lots of Walters around the western PA/ eastern OH area. The ones I have as his folks are Andrew Walters (born 1776 in Fayette Co, PA & died abt 1830 in DeWitt Co, Ill.) and Elizabeth Dillon (born abt 1775 in Fayette Co, PA death unk). My problem is when I went to look for the older Andrew's folks! The only ones I thought would come close to being them is Andrew Walters (born 1752 in German, Fayette, PA and died abt 1830 in DeWitt, Ill) and his wife Sarah Weedman (born abt 1722 in OH & died 1809). Sound like the same Andrew, but the second one has an earlier birth date, and a MUCH older wife, who couldn't have been Andrew Jackson Walters' mom, as he wasn't born until 1828, after Sarah had died. I have called about 25 different places in the Fairfield courthouse in Ohio trying to find a birth record for Andrew Jackson Walters, but was told that they didn't keep records that far back. I can't find him in church records either. So do you guys have any suggestions how I can untangle this mess I've made of my Walters line?

Looks like Bixby sustained injuries from the assault and taking of Arkansas Post. Since Bixby was a doctor, I wonder what his role in the battles were? Did he just shoot and fight, or did he care for the wounded? He was the only casualty from his unit in that battle.
