Lorenzo O'Dell

We have two documents relating to the marriage of Lorenzo O'Dell and Jerusha Exceen. Both are provided by familysearch. The first is the marriage license and the second the record of the marriage itself.

The State of Ohio, Geauga County
Personally appeared Frederick Exceen and made application for a marriage license for Lorenzo O'Dell and Jerusha Exceen, of the township of Claridon in said county and made solemn oath that the said Lorenzo is of the age of twenty one years and that the said Jerusha is of the age of sixteen years, that they are both single and not nearer kin than first cousins and that he knows no legal impediment against their being joined in marriage and that the said Jerusha is his daughter and he gives his consent to the marriage
Signed Frederick Exceen, 13th day of May, 1850.

And

Be it remembered that on the thirtieth day of May, 1850, Lorenzo O'Dell and Jerusha Exceen of the county of Geauga were legally joined in marriage by competent authority etc. an a certificate of the said marriage signed by Almon Nicholas JP who solemnized the same has been filed in the office of the Court of Common Pleas for the county of Geauga this fourth day of June 1850.

An index suggests that the marriage was actually held on the 13th of May, but the handwriting is such that the thirtieth of May is the more likely.
