[or-roots] Illinois marriage

DAle and Les 

In my research I have found that the "about" dates can be off my as much as 20 years. 

I found this out on a couple of records when I found the accuall record.

Dale; I always forget that most email gets scrunched; the Johnson is the 
county of marriage, so now it is smorgasboard time depeding on whether the 
1843 date matches or the the "about 1837" 

what that says is Howell, James T.  married  Sarah S Rentrfo on 10 January 
1843 in Johnson Co. Illinois. I didn't find Sarah Shadwell in the index with 
a Howell, but talk about name coincidnces, this may not be your line, but I 
bet it is connected to the earlier marriage  i posted; 

RENTFROW, EARL     Married  SHADWELL, EFFIE     1909-Nov-11    Book 3   page 
85            EFFINGHAM Co., IL 

Huh, is she named for the county, or for an ancestor the county was named 
for??

I will have to look that up at home.  I am confused by the Howell, James 
T Johnson though.  What does that mean?  I know that my James middle 
name was Ellison because I have seen it on several documents including 
land records that I got from the BLM site.
