Nancy Jane Pelham "was married to Spencer Gunn 23 Mar 1874 in Boulder County, Colorado. Her marriage certificate is in her widow's pension file, along with an affidavit from George M. Gunn, Spencer's brother. George swore on 7 November 1891 that his brother died from the effects of a fall from a horse at Sterling, Logan County, Colorado on 12 Oct 1876. George and Nancy filed for pensions on the same day: Sep 30, 1891 (she for a widow's pension and he for an invalid's pension). If you google: "Nancy J Pelham" and "Spencer Gunn," there is also a rootsweb transcription of Boulder County Marriage Records that contains the marriage info."
