I'd probably go to the county, once you get the exact information. Then, I'd make sure it was *Mrs*. If it
was, there will be some additional paperwork, stating that both are free to marry, etc.  At least, that's
what I found in one case.  
 
I just checked and there is nothing on the Washington or California records either.
 
Good luck,
 
Pat

At my library there is a book of Oregon marriages.  I found this marriage in that book.  Tonight I will
look up the exact date and county.  The reason I am trying to track these folks down is that I am curious
about this Mrs. Lavina Deford.  I have a Samuel Deford who came to Oregon about 1852 and his mother's name
was Lavina Deford.  I don't know if this woman is his mother or not.  If she is, then it would mean that
she and his father Joseph Deford would have gotten a divorce.  I have been under the impression that she
died because he had remarried by the 1860 census.  It seems plausible that she was Samuel's mother since
she married this guy Whitaker in Oregon and that is where Samuel migrated to from Iowa.
