<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The divorce records for Wilson and Lucinda can be found at the State Archives in Salem. The divorce was finalized in late 1853 (around September) In that time
period the legislative assembly had to pass an act that finalized the divorce. In the records here it indicates that Wilson Fisher and Lucinda McFeely were married in 1844/45 in Indiana. (Ancestry has Indiana marriage records online and shows them married
April 18, 1844 in Montgomery County). The divorce action was begun by Wilson and he charged Lucinda with adultery during the time they were living in Washington County. By the time the court was taking testimony there are references to Lucinda being in Thurston
County or “Puget Sound” area.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">And while we are talking about this couple I may as well hang out the dirty linen. That daughter, Sarah Josephine was born in August of 1853, a few months before the marriage. I presume there was a divorce in progress but not finalized
in time. :-) Do you know where I can find the divorce records. His first wife was presumably named Lucinda but I don't know her maiden name nor where and when the marriage was solemnized.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Wilson was the 2nd husband of one of my Gr-Great Grandmothers, Rebecca Evarts Smith Fisher. I believe that they were married December 1853 in Lane County, although I have not yet found the marriage certificate. During the 10 years of their
marriage they had three children, Sarah, 1853-1867 and a set of twin boys, Daniel and George born in 1856. Unhappily, Daniel died as an infant of only one month. So the only child they raised to adulthood was George, and he, in fact was mostly raised by
his widowed mother. Life was hard.<o:p></o:p></p>
