"Thank you for your message concerning the marriage date of John Lents and Christina Spalding. My source was that Sacramental Record of Rev. Simon LaLumiere (St. Peter's Church, Daviess County), a transcription of which can be found online. It notes that the original is located in the Archives of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. I've seen the state records, but chose to go with the church records only because I made the assumption that John and Christina would have recognized the date that the priest performed the sacrament to be their official date of marriage."
